Who's coping here when you're the one completely dismissing my own experience with using Linux. That's not a good look for someone supposedly giving 'good' advice.
That experience I had was from earlier this year, btw, so don't tell me that whatever I want will work out of the box. This is why I hate whenever people say "just switch to Linux" without taking any responsibility. You don't know what hardware people have and going to install Linux on.
You also claimed Linux is good for people with no money to buy new hardware, yet barely care to even make sure the people you tell this to doesn't have hardware that might not be supported. What are they gonna do after your advice made the only hardware they have no longer connect to wifi or ethernet? I doubt you'd go out of your way to help them, then.
As for simplicity, I don't see how W11 is any more complicated that Ubuntu. More resource heavy, yes, but that doesn't affect the user experience much. Give me concrete examples on how they're easier to use.
