Linux users love a challenge - worth probing further.
Notwithstanding, had I not become a Linux user until Linux has become friendly to casual users, at least in my regard. Besides, being almost a life-long Windows user, any type of desktop design not resemblant of Windows, was a no-go to me, which probably caused Ubuntu (GNOME) fail to convince me back around in 2013 or something, thus having to wait couple of years more until my decision to switch. I was using 'Vista' most of the time back then, to spice things up. Windows does have pretty clear structure, that a lot of new people complain about under Linux.
There is some kind of optimism throughout the chaos, in the Windows world. This works somewhat magnetic. It attracts people. People want good things, people want pretty things and people want optimism, even if it is a mess under the hood. Because if it looks good, if it looks promising, if it appears to work, a lot can be forgiven. Windows, unfortunately, has become a bloatware city with machines operating the Windows preinstalled. Besides, the commercial push surrounding the world outside of GNU, started giving me a sense of anxiety. Not that GNU has all the answers, it is just more quiet place. It all matters less and less, though, as everything moves to the cloud nowadays.
Am I a Linux user? I do not think that I am competent enough to call myself a Linux user, but I want to become a Linux user - and expect Linux to come meet my expectations. I do not have much negative to say about Windows in an afterthought, speaking of my experience with 'Windows 10'. It worked. But it was then, when I finally thought: okay, Linux has become good enough, time to go. So I packed things up and moved. Because it felt the right thing to do. Because Linux is the good one, right?
But still, plenty of road ahead of Linux. Too much geeks-for-geeks approach for now in it. It actually needs to incorporate the "people" factor.
