The biggest problem with Lemmy Community is "Linux is not for newbies and it does not work as smithy as windows" Sentence will give you negative Karma in hundreds. The community is smug about using Linux Anywhere on Lemmy.
As a windows main:
Linux absolutely has distro that will work just fine for most basic computer users right out of the box. Mint passed the wife test AND the Mom test (and my mother is in her late 50s and doesn't use computers normally).
So you're likely getting downvoted because you're just wrong.
A better point might be "most people just don't care enough to learn the different workflow", which is also why people tend not to swap between phone OS either
I have no problem changing be it windows or Linux, but things don't work in Linux, I will give you example, when closing the lid don't suspend the power is easy to find and setup in windows. They to do that in one of the friendliest Linux i.e. ZORIN OS and tell me your mother can do it.
Or try to play and video saved from iphone with live images ,(hevc format i think )and see what error Linux throws and see if you can at least know what is needed , which windows tell you in face.
To put it another way the community isn't very diverse. For example it's got way more Linux enthusiasts than the general population.
