I could argue the same thing about Windows 11.

Can you imagine an average person going into best buy and buying a laptop, maybe in S mode, forced to make a Microsoft account and wait 5-8 minutes updating their machine before they can use it, just for Microsoft edge to pop up asking them to change their accent color. Or downloading a program online and a big old popup comes up saying "Available in the Microsoft Store!"

I personally argue Linux Mint is awesome and what's best for most people. my grandma (81) didnt want to switch to 10 or 11 after Windows 7 was going to be EOL, she tried mint and she absolutely loved it.

For me it's com to a point that drivers are better on Linux. Linux is still missing drivers for a lot of devices but the ones we do have work seamlessly compared to windows

I still have issues with fingerprint readers, but other than that, my experience with drivers is waaaaaaaay worse on Windows.

I don't have too much experience with fingerprint readers but the one on my Thinkpad worked. The one on my cousins computer doesn't because it doesn't have any drivers
