I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop (www.pcgamer.com)

If you're technical enough for that, sure. The setup has gotten easier, but messing with install media and boot configs is still technical work.

That's fair, but you still have to do that with Windows. Only difference is that most OEMs pre-install it for you.

I actually find the Windows installer to be much less intuitive than most distro installers.

That's a huge difference! Linux is getting traction now because a major vendor (Valve) is selling a desirable device that comes with Linux pre-installed. We should be out there installing Linux for people who don't know how! You can't really expect everyone to know computer well enough to flash a new os on common hardware. Nothing is designed with making os swapping easy, friendly, or safe.
