Same, but I typically hear it from recent Windows converts. I think they just get overwhelmed. And of course you have all the less recent Windows converts pushing their favorite distro for confirmation bias. i.e. "Arch BTW", "Mint FYI", "MX Linux IMO". I don't hear it from the experienced users.

Its hella confusing at first and seems like it matters more than it does when its mostly the same experience and des matter more. You just use different terminal commands and have different default defaults, different backend, they all work mostly the same from the perspective of the user. You open firefox and use your computer. If you need an app you open the appstore and search for it. Most ppl arent even using windows specific apps, I was doing 90% of my sht on a webbroswer with google docs for the last decade.

You mean the same people that complain about a perceived lack of antivirus software?
