I don’t think Linux as currently designed is built to be that effectively
I agree, but only in the sense that I think Linux is in its Windows 98 era and still making some things hard that should be easier. That’s ostensibly because of the Linux philosophy of user choice but it also bites people in the ass sometimes.
Depends on how much knowledge you’re interested in acquiring in the first 3 months and how much you like to play around. When I was a kid, I broke Windows a lot because I was learning what you can and can’t do. Adults don’t have that kind of time to explore and fix things that break and a lot of us aren’t intellectually curious about technology.
If you’re a tech person at all and like solving problems (or you have someone in your household who would admin your system), I think it’s ready for you. But if you’re an end user who wants every Windows feature and more on Linux and can’t/won’t fix things by searching, it’s not ready.
I think that’s fair. And for a whole bunch of device types, it’s obviously the default (and often only) option. I think Linux users get too stuck on desktop usage viability. Linux is best when tuned for specific hardware and function, not trying to be everything for everybody at the user level.
