Linux users when somebody can open their browser and go to a website without 36 lines in the terminal, 40 minutes of troubleshooting, and 3 reinstallations of Wine:
most linux distros come with a browser, and barely need terminal use (although literally terminals are so easy to use). no normie browser requires troubleshooting for normie activities. wine is not the problem, proprietary software is.
try linux mint, for example. very easy to dual boot, and easy to learn coming from windows. active userbase too
How windows users think installing software on Linux works:
Step one: open terminal
Step two: cry knowing any application can break my Linux install
Step three: neofetch, one last time
Step four: clone browser repository.
Step five: cry again
Step six: change directories
Step seven: uncontrollable sobbing
Step eight: makepkg
Step nine: my desk is covered in tears
Step ten: package compiles
Step eleven: 😭
Step twelve: time to install the newly compiled package
Step thirteen: cautiously approach “Y” key and tremble in fear
Step fourteen: hit Y
Step fifteen: no turning back
Step sixteen: terminal freezes
Step seventeen: keyboard in flames
Step eighteen: nuclear siren wailing
Step nineteen: evacuation
Step twenty: turn around and watch as your life turns to ashes.
Step twenty-one: promise to never use Linux again.
Step twenty-two: install Linux again.
So what you’re saying is that A) Linux distros doesn’t have web browsers installed by default B) it is impossible to install a web browser with GUI and 3 clicks in Linux C) there exists no Linux binaries for web browsers so you absolutely need to run then in Wine?
Huh, would you look at that. I’ve been using Linux for decades and learn something new about it still…
No, I think they were doing something called a “joke” which you missed. Sorry to say, but you wasted your effort with this comment since you missed it.

Noooo way?!?!?!
I’m pretty sure that guy is a Linux user and making a joke about the perception of Linux
In that case I’ll allow myself the honor of wooshing myself.
To be fair, it reads exactly like some of the things I’ve heard from Linux haters, so kudos to OP for a realistic portrayal.
