Linux isn't ready. Not for home users anyway. And I've tried recently. Just constant problems that if I wasn't getting paid I wouldn't have wanted to deal with.
I don't see how it's not. I have all the desktops and gaming PCs in my house running EndeavorOS and it's been a flawless experience, much better than Windows. Heck, I've been using Linux for my general desktop since 2015. I only kept a Windows install around for gaming, and that's not even needed anymore.
Even the difference in the installs is utterly absurd. Linux install from USB to full desktop deployment is 15-20 minutes, tops. For Windows, it was more like 2 hours and a bunch of hacks to work around their Microsoft account bullshit.
What exactly "isn't ready" in your opinion?

Last time I tried was last autumn. It didn't go well (again). I try regularly because computer OS is pretty much the last thing I have to switch to get rid of spytech. I suppose I'm not skilled enough, but it's not fair to suppose that people don't switch to linux on pc because they're lazy, or ignorant, or bad or things like that.
