Switch to Linux!

This is the problem with Linux. People that know how to use a PC and are not tech illiterate still can't use it very well. Just the fact that you offered means you know they are probably having some issues.
I know how to use a PC and I am tech literate and I can use Linux just fine so I don't get what your point is.
I have used Linux off and on for almost 20 years.
I install it, see if I can do everything I want.
Get lost in terminal hell.
Give up and uninstall it.
Until I can browse to a webpage, download a program and click on an icon and have it install and work, the OS is shit for the general user. It's not that fucking difficult of a concept.
You're right. It's not that difficult of a concept and luckily Linux works just like that. I will admit that Linux wasn't always user friendly but it's made leaps and bounds in that department. A bit less than a year ago, I decided one day to wipe my SSD completely and install Linux and I've been using it ever since. I'm doing everything I was doing for. Obviously this is going to depend on your specific needs but for me it's been just fine.
No it doesn't.
My last attempt was six months ago. Still had a few key programs in a tarball. Dow
Then there's always the random hardware incompatibility. This last attempt it decided to flip the screen upside down on my laptop screen. Fun times...
It's come a long way, but for the average user, it's not anywhere near polished enough.
What kind of software do you use? I have never needed to install a tarball. Flipping the screen upside down seems like a very easily fixable problem compared to some of the stuff windows throws at you
I'm curious what distros you have tried.
