Ah yes. Let's gatekeep Linux and keep the general public out of it. Definitely helpful to drive up adoption of desktop Linux.
As someone who recently started using it...doing anything at all is a pain in the ass in Linux vs Windows.
Installing many things requires following a guide instead of downloading an exe. And when one step of the guide yields something unexpected, well good luck.
The thing hurting Linux adoption is Linux.
No, it's fragmentation. If you know what can be applied to other distros and what's distro-specific, things become very easy.
You completely missed the point, which is standard.
