At first glance, there is a lot about Windows that is way more 
user-friendly than Linux. However, if you take something like Linux Mint 
and compare it to Windows 11, you'd wonder _how_ Windows 11 is 
friendlier. In Windows 11, some applications can't be removed and you 
don't get an idea why. Some Windows components aren't even listed in the 
applications so you have to wonder how to install or remove them. For 
drivers, they're installed through Windows Update but if they don't work 
right, you just have to know about the Device Manager which is 
impossible to find on your own because they're phasing out the Control 
Panel. Some programs are available through the Window Store, others 
through the web which means that some are repairable and easily 
uninstallable whereas the others aren't... and so on. For new users, 
Linux Mint is actually _much_ simpler than Windows is.
