The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

Except this is free
Only if you have a lot of free time and skills.
It really doesn’t require much aside from backing up, I can have a linux system up and running with a complete beginner in 30 minutes or so.
Me too. But I’m not going to bother people telling them what they “should” use. And I was talking about the “sink” example anyway.
Sure but these things are not remotely comparable.
pretty much every widely used distro has a user-friendly installer and it takes less time than windows does to get installed in my experience
So? People just prefer to use something else. None of my business.
That depends on your hardware and what software you want to run.
The “normal” case is that Linux is very easy to install and does not require any more skills than other operating systems.
The “worst” case is that something goes wrong or is poorly supported and it really does take a lot of time. Some software may not even be available. This is less frequent than you may expect.
A “common” case is that everything goes fine but you have expertise in a different system and so you have to spend some time ramping up to similar skill levels on Linux. Some people enjoy this part.
The “best” case is that it turns out that Linux fits your needs better than your previous OS and you find out that you were spending a bunch of time fighting the short-comings in the old system. This is more common than you think. There is a reason so many of us use Linux. It is not a requirement. It is a preference.
It is hard to know which of the above experiences you will have until you try it.
