>this idea you should install on random hardware is a mistake.

Why, it works on windows? And it's not 'random hardware' its the hardware they have and use. You should realize this is a failure of linux, not of the user.

Then when you say, that Linux is not yet prepared for desktop, they will mention that they have been using linux for years and it is ready.

Chromebooks have worked for the general public for years.

Which suggests the question is isn’t if it’s ready but if you’re going to be happy with it.

So? Linux is not Windows.

It’s the advice that’s a problem not the user or Linux.
