I don't agree that it's a pain for the regular user, I think it's a pain if you use niche software, or software that's designed to not run on linux intentionally.

Outside of that, it works perfectly fine. The vast VAST majority of users will not miss any software.

I've dealt with enough regular uses to know that no, it's not good for regular users. But you do you - I know that it isn't ready.

I've done the same, I don't think windows is ready for normal users.
