I believe Mint is designed for ease of installation and use, and similarity to Windows.

Do those programs not work on WINE?
What Linux needs to get widely adopted is settle for one central distro
One central distro guarantees its eventual enshittification. I'm happy with the knowledge that if my distro enshittifies I can just move to a different one.
It is bullshit, and people will complain while continuing to use Windows so why should Microsoft care?
Where the fuck we gonna put all the waste product?
In the air, so everyone everywhere is interacting with it on a daily basis.
Oh wait, that's what we do with waste from all the other power plants.
A waste product that can put on a specific spot is easier to deal with than a waste product that can't.
It's even worse if you're watching competition shows:
"Coming up: things you're going to see in the next 5 minutes."
"Welcome back: recap of what you've seen in the last 5 minutes."
My wife and I recently started watching that. Skipping the first 6 minutes of episodes because we don't need to meet all the drivers again, skipping at every commercial break because I don't need to see what's coming up or what we just watched...
Mint was painless for me and I've had no problems with my Steam library
First, needing to set things up does not mean the OS is actively fighting you. If you need to install something for your hardware to work Linux actively wants to aid you, where as Microsoft is actively fighting against you keeping your files and accounts local.
Second, I tried Linux last week and had minimal issues getting my hardware to work. The biggest problems I had were a result of me over-complicating things because I assumed it would be harder and assumed Linux was at fault. Turns out the specific software I was using was the problem and the fix was easy.
Please tell me what exactly you disagree with.
You sounding like an advertisement for OneDrive. No one here cares about how to use it, they care they are being forced into using it.
MS might make it harder to do, but there will always be an option.
Or you could switch to an OS that isn't actively fighting you.
Right, so if they don't care they're not going to complain very much about it. If they are going to complain what are they going to do about it? If it's "just complain and nothing else" then Microsoft doesn't care.
