From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is pretty much PopOS. Especially with how drivers are integrated into the package manager app.
Nowadays you dont gotta use the terminal very often, but I agree that we can do more to make common tasks powered by the GUI instead, or implicitly work out of the box.
My pain point with Linux atm is how my Laptop's HDMI output doesnt work unless I'm on Nvidia-only graphics. Not only does that require logging out to switch, but it takes a command line program AND it stills feels like a broken workaround for something that would "just work" on Windows.
DisplayLink drivers also suck ass too, sadly.
Other than that, which is a pretty big pain point for new users, Linux is definitely as "out of the box" if not moreso than Windows, regardless of the distro.
