I’d argue desktop Linux passed “the level of windows” sometime around Windows 8 or KDE5. I have way more stability issues and complicated upgrades on Windows. | ||

That was long true by that time. On supported hardware, and if you don’t need applications that are not on Linux, it was fine in the first Ubuntu releases at least. (in comparison with the state of Windows at the time, of course) | ||

in 2003 it was WAY easier to install linux than windows. You had to mess with floppys for sata drivers and shit to install windows. and KDE was always ATLEAST as easy as windows, arguably more. At this time lots of older crappy hardware people had also only had win98 drivers, giving people immense problems. It mostly worked better on linux. This still goes today. | ||
