It ain’t that confusing. Click on the icon of the app you want to launch and that’s it.
The app is similar to what’s going in on windows.
Where that becomes frustrating is when you have a computer that isn’t well supported by Linux, things don’t work, battery is bad, you have to look up for ways to fix them and so on.
But if the « driver » support was as good as on windows, people could switch in 2 seconds.
My university computers ran Ubuntu, we were not computer nerd but civil engineering yet everyone adapted very quick.
Well okay, tell me why a single user would end up buying enterprise support? And I would still argue that linux is confusing for casual users. Everything from file system paths to system settings, things are not understood readily for casual users. Lack of available apps like photoshop, etc can also frustrate users.
I must have miss written it. I meant that single user would have to buy computer that are well supported by Linux.
You don’t need canonical enterprise support.
If nothing is already broken, Ubuntu isn’t that different from windows. You got your 10 app icons, and a button to shut down the computer.
And the file path ? Everyone used the standard file picker and had no issue. I guess it defaulted to the home directory or desktop, whatever the case we just put all the garbage there in folder like we used to do in windows.
