Those of you who use Linux: What was your first Linux distribution, and what was your experience like?
Those of you who don't use Linux: What is your impression of Linux, based on the information you currently have? Would you ever consider using Linux as the operating system on your main PC?
Those who don't know what I'm talking about: What is the primary device you use to access the Internet?
I don't use Linux regularly, but I use it sometimes, for specific things that I can only do on Linux. I have it in WSL and VirtualBox. My first Linux distribution was Red Hat, back in like 1993 or something. I don't remember it much.
I would never consider using Linux as my main operating system. Compared to Windows, it's extremely crude, buggy, non-user-friendly, and lacking in features. And you frequently run into issues just trying to run simple applications or do anything, and resolving each issue takes a lot of research and effort, unless you have elaborate knowledge of the inner workings of the OS, and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend that many hours just studying some arbitrary OS, I'm not that much of a nerd. I Hate Linux. Windows, on the other hand, Just Works™️.
This is why I think people who think Linux is a perfectly suitable desktop OS for the masses, or even think it's better than Windows, are delusional. I mean, I know it's better than Windows in some ways, especially for programmers and as a server, but those are niche use cases, it's not better than Windows overall.
