    Chrome OS is literally built on the Linux kernel and you’re saying it’s simpler lmao. It overtook because Google created their own entire class of laptop devices undercutting the price of most entry level options, preinstalled with ChromeOS.

    More steps to get anything done is not correct, the entire reason I use Linux at work is because it takes less steps to get things done than Windows.

    Installing Firefox on windows:

    1. Open browser

    2. Search for Firefox

    3. Click result

    4. Find and click download button

    5. Click .exe

    6. Click yes on security dialog

    7. Click next a bunch of times (I’ll be fair and make this a single step)

    8. Launch

    On Linux (assuming it isn’t installed by default on your distro):

    1. Open terminal

    2. sudo apt install Firefox

    3. type ‘y’

    4. Launch

    At least double the amount of steps if you don’t include launching the browser. You’re talking absolute shit saying it’s ‘simple fact’ when I could give many other examples that objectively prove your statement false.

    Is it more difficult to use for the average user? Sure. Is it more difficult for everyone? No.
