Get angry, frustrated and ask someone who knows. And because more people are using Windows, chances are, they will find the answer way quicker. Also, most programs already run on windows.
Like when i wanted to set up my Proton Drive on Windows, i just downloaded it and started it.
On Ubuntu, i had to write a systemd.service to get the program to autostart on starting my machine. Which was fun, but it isnt for a lot of people.
If people can do that for Windows, they can also do it for Linux
idk what is wrong with Ubuntu but autostarting applications is extremely simple. If looking online for help isn’t for a lot of people, then computers aren’t for a lot of people.
And again, on Windows, i wouldnt have to do that. I just download the program and there it is.
Let me just propose a different scenario: i watch football via Wow.tv. Before i installed Linux, i
Opened up a browser
Went to the website
Entered a password
Watched the stream.
On linux i tried that, got hit with the old “DRM content on Linux” razzledazzle, tried to figure out if i could install a browser that runs via wine to access the site, only to get hit with four forum entries all saying: “Why tf do you want to run a browser via wine? Dont do that.”
I had to whip out my old windows laptop to watch my footie.
I love linux. I love being able to tinker and do all the cool stuff on it, being independent of large corps and such. But for a lot of people this isnt worth the hassle. And not recognizing this is one of the reasons why Linux will not reach mass adoption.
