    If you can’t even install an os by reading documentation using linux is just going to frustrate you.

      Reading documentation with countless of terms you don’t know is frustrating too. For new users i can recommend using Youtube tutorials installing Linux.

      Not every user has to know the inside and outside of the used OS, there are many beginner-friendly distros these days.

      I think it’s more about the fear factor. What if something goes wrong? Especially when dual booting. I was so so scared that I might break my system accidentally when I was first installing Mint alongside Windows and doing manual partitioning. I have to tell you, it was quite scary at first, and then it was just frustrating how much space Windows took away from me (when I wasnt evem using Windows) that I wiped it.
