  • I fail to see how (again, I’m talking about people new to computers, not people already used to Windows).

    You have office, a browser, a mail program, music player, etc. preinstalled, automatic updates, and an app store (usually named “software”) with a search function and a friendly “install” button to look for more software.
    Printers are installed automatically when you’re in the same network or connect them via USB.
    If you plug in your phone or an USB stick, it shows up in the file manager.


  • Only if you compare computers that come preinstalled with Windows, operated by users that are already familiar with Windows.
    A non-technical user is completely out of their element trying to install Windows, and a computer that comes preinstalled with Linux is easier to use than a Windows PC (no driver installation necessary, no hunting for software on the internet among spam links and ads, preinstalled software for most every-day tasks).
