Good for you - but that’s not everyone’s experience.
So don’t put your experience on others either.
I’m sure it works the other way round, just as often.
But that last time when my sister was literally filling out an RMA form for a perfectly functional disk drive because her brand new laptop wouldn’t play a DVD. That was the last straw for me and windows. (except at work of course until/ unless I can get a better job).
Windows, 20 minutes of being advertised at like the internet before pop-up blockers, being pushed to windows store to buy the film again from them, trying a few different media players from the store, various googling - i cant even remember if i was able to install vlc before giving up and going debian - fuck that, unusable, and she couldn’t do it either, so that was at least two of us in the well-below-average slice of the distribution of windows users.
Linux mint live iso booted about 5-10 mins to burn it and boot, play dvd (I dont even think i had to install vlc). Plus a bit of time to figure out how to get the boot menu. So maybe she was above average in debian users?
