I think this is a bit rich coming from what I assume is a Linux user. Creating a new user may be easy enough but the OOTB is so shit on pretty much every distro I’d much sooner grapple with the Windows stuff. I have a Plasma based install and a Gnome one that are like three years old. I also have a single Windows 10 install that I just threw together to get Fusion 360 working; it had zero effort put into it other than setting the wallpaper to use the Bing daily one yet it still looks slicker than both of Linux setups. The problem with customisation on Linux is that it isn’t optional.
I’m going to have to disagree for example Pop!OS is very, very straightforward I bet my grandma could do it. In those three years there has been a lot of development towards accessibility to provide an alternative to windows and they look NICE. modern windows SHOVES ads down my throat and I’ll never go back. I have to use a windows laptop for school and I dread every second of it.
nothing more fun in school than when me and the rest of the class had to constantly deal with slow windows laptops with battery lives that lasted about an hour or sometimes less, locked down so much that you couldn’t change a single setting except resolution and i wish i was exaggerating

The problem with customization on Windows is that it isn’t an option

When was your last experience setting up a linux distro, like 10 years ago? Most modern distros are extremely easy to setup and have very nice OOBEs.
Do you mean the OOBE? If so I would take Fedora over Windows every day.
Also the Bing wallpaper is an option on Gnome and KDE.
surprisingly, i’m actually posting from a macbook
That’s the joke
