>getting into linux is actually harder if you're a windows power user, because you're more likely to mistakenly think you know how to use it already, you have expectations. you're going to try to do something one way, and struggle with it instead of finding out you're supposed to be doing it another way because you've always done it a certain way in windows.
This but also because of all the fragmentation and the fact distros switch tech stacks every few years means that it will be harder for them to just learn one way. Of course the same happens in windows land to a much lesser level (it's the same os since nt/vista + cancer patches after all) but whenever microsoft does anything of the sort it can force pretty much everyone to update and that becomes the new official method which you have no choice but to learn. It feels less like just an arbitrary developer choice and more like that's just how the world works from their perspective.
