Why do some say "its not a windows alternative"? As someone who replaced windows with it, that doesn't make sense to me. I can do almost everything in Linux that I did in windows, and it keeps getting better. There's no negatives to be had from making it more user friendly and approachable to those who want to ditch windows. You can keep using Arch or whatever distro youre using.. You dont have to use one that makes things easier for non linux users. Im happy with the variety of projects. As someone whos learned a lot about linux after switching, this just sounds like gatekeeping to me.
