Just like in windows, when you want to do something 98% of the time:
Press windows key
Type in the first few letters
Press enter.
Just like with your phone, there's an app store that has everything you need ready to download and install in 1 click.
In some ways, linux simplifies things that are needlessly complex in windows, like instead of every app having it's own updater or directing you to the web to download and manually install the new version, there's 1 app that just updates everything.
There's not a bunch of software you don't know where it came from and cannot remove like on Windows either.
not a pretentious take lol theyre 100% accurate
most end users are terrible with computers which is why linux is garbage
theyre also accurate with the turn off and turn on thing
So why should I, a person who doesn't have time to learn the intricacies of computer science use linux?
It's not as bad as they're saying.

you shouldn't, they didnt say that
You don't need to know compsci to use Linux but you'll probably need to be willing to learn a thing or two in the course of using it
