Like what, exactly? I can only imagine drivers and even drivers aren’t a really huge deal anymore
niche software
Again like what? Most softwares either have perfectly fine alternatives or if not, may even run transparently in Linux. A lot of times it’s just “slightly different” and requires a person to just stick with it for a while.
Also, try KDE desktop. It’s more a windows look and feel whilst being plain better and prettier and won’t scare people off so easily
Edit: why the downvotes? I’m sincerely curious to what the problems are
I’m a fairly technically savvy person. And yet, since the drivers do not support the fingerprint sensor and the windows hello camera on my laptop. I am trucking along without.
But, not everyone is going to have the same leniency for tech they bought. Also the bluetooth is ridiculously flaky. Sure I could change the driver/software and all from CLI but the layperson is not going to be adept at that.
Most complaints I got from people were over gaming mice/keyboards or audio equipment that need additional software to fully function.
I do think it’s pretty stupid that some hardware requires extra crap in order to work right but I ain’t gonna convince my friends to throw out their sometimes $100+ peripherals because the manufactures a jackass.
I will totally agree KDE is probably the best DE out their for desktops and already way better out of the box than Win10/11, I’ve been using it for over a month now and not missing Windows at all.
There is a windows theme in the Mint themer that looks like it is spot on to look just like windows. I love the look of linux over windows though so didn’t try it.

Yeah, even that is possible ( though other non windows themes look better, personally)
I guess that’s the point. Linux is all about possibilities. You can do anything you want.
