"Whether it's Netflix, games, Office/Photoshop, obscure drivers, whatever... I can just run an app and expect it to work, and if it doesn't, it's not my problem. I'll wait a while and someone else will fix it.

I don't have to tweak obscure config files or apply patches or sideload package manager repos."

I am not sure what you mean.

I have been a linux user for the last 25years and I haven't had to apply any patch manually for the last 15 at the very least, nor looking for obscure drivers.

A config file is the same as an option/settings menu, with the advantage that it is usually much better documented.

Nobody told you that you can watch netflix on Linux as well as running games, use office and powerful photo editing apps as well?
