    So what do those people do when their Windows machine doesn’t just work and applications require a workaround?

      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.
