It also takes time to learn Windows. As you said, the main difference is that Windows has an unfair quasi monopoly on PC pre-installations, so people grew up with them, that’s why it seems to you that you don’t have to learn it.
You literally suggested Linux has not grown because of the community, as if to say every single day thousands of Windows users are booting up their first distros only to be chased away by a toxic community. The only thing holding it back from a boom in users is, what, discord channels?
Because most people actually want to learn from people not a 10,000 word man page written by a robot
So…users don’t want to read, and that’s somehow the Linux community’s fault? Nevermind the fact there’s plenty of very simple and short video guides to help with this.
Look, I’m not going to convince you of anything, you’ve got your mind made up, so whatever. But you’re really reaching here to make a point without any actual evidence. At least have the decency to make some bullshit up like “I’ve spoken with a lot of people that say” or something.
Even the most basic actions, like walking, require time to learn. Linux has some very user friendly distributions like Ubuntu or Linux Mint where you can basically auto-learn really fast. You don’t have to start with Arch Linux nor should you.
Linux will never compete with Windows because most people will never bother to change whatever OS came with their laptop. That had nothing to do with the community.

Your original comment is equally as asinine, bud.
