I’m not some old Unix hacker, but after 20 years with ‘Linux’, I can without any doubt say that Linux-based operating systems—that’s meant to be stable and reliable—is stable and reliable.
They’re light years ahead of Microsoft and their operating system. Even Microsoft knows that. That’s why they keep replacing Windows with Linux for their backend.
With that said. Linux is not perfect. And while I like Linux and believe it’s overall a really good option for a lot of people, especially beginners, I’m not in any way some sort of fanboy. I’m quite the opposite. I’m the first person to be vocal about everything that’s wrong with it. :D
In regards to intuitiveness, I believe the issue is you here. ;) It sounds like you’re an experienced Windows users, and therefore also set in your ways in regards how Windows work. However. Linux is not Windows. Different systems may work differently.
I had the same issue when I started using Linux. I previously only had experience with Windows, and I tried to use Linux like it was Windows. This didn’t work at all, and it made it into a quite frustrating and poor experience. :)
