I don't get why Linux users don't understand that they are part of like a 1% bubble. 99% of people would not enjoy Linux. I'm a Pop Os user myself and seeing what I have to do sometimes to get simple everday things to work that work right out of the box in Windows and MacOs is rediculus. No normie would ever figure out what to do even when googling. Linux is an exclusive Pc enthusiast operating system. Even the beginner friendly distros are not "dump proof" enough for the regular person. There is no use in advocating it on every problem post from Windows or MacOs. You're doing no one a favor with it.
Its actually more like 2.x% and its a lot higher in some segments like developer. The fact that the most popular phone OS on the planet is based on Linux is trivial proof that you can make an experience that is desirable and usable by the majority of people based on the same technology.
That said android isn't really that simple if you come to it there is actually plenty of complexity both in terms of interfaces that vary between manufacturer and features. If we were to consider for instance Linux Mint running cinnamon I wouldn't say the complexity of Mint/Cinnamon is higher than android.
