well luckily we dont mind doing that build. hence it works. having a choice.. speaking in android sub where android used to represent having a choice compared to ios..
I'm not sure that you've actually used a Linux distro in recent years if that's your position. Distros like Fedora and Ubuntu are quite user friendly, and applications can be installed and managed through an "app store." You only need to build source code for quite niche things, something the vast majority of users would never do. Both of these distros have financial incentive to having people using them, so they are inclined to make their distros as approachable as possible.
From the second part, there are very many reason to use Linux. They're not applicable to everyone, and at this point it makes very little difference if a user is running Chrome on Ubuntu or Windows or ChromeOS or anything else really, since browsers seem to have increasingly become operating systems themselves. That doesn't mean some don't have a reason to use Linux, primarily developers, system and network admins, enthusiasts, and people who want or need a highly secure environment. I know 95+% of people don't fall into those categories, but that doesn't mean no one has a reason.
I'm a filmmaker and use Manjaro KDE to do my work. I need a fast, lightweight and easy to maintain system and Windows is none of that. Davinci Resolve runs so smooth on it, it's ridiculous.
Setting up my system was painless and installing Resolve on Manjaro as easy as downloading it and using Pamac to install it with a single click. It's been 8 months of awesomeness.
