I’ve recently convinced my daughter to try Mint on her system. She has GF 1650 and it worked out of the box with propietary Nvidia driver (nothing needed to install additionally, with the option to switch to open source driver). Really, it’s not worse than on Windows.
As hard as plugging in a USB with OS and follow instructions.
The fact that people HAD to learn to use Windows, too. It’s just in the past and appears easy because they already can. If a person used computers with Linux from the start, it would be as easy for them as for Windows users.
Arch heretic here (long time Mint user).
At least with OS you have a choice.
Also the ones that are closer to american pancakes (as opposed to those large and flat as in photo) are called “oladii” (“оладьи”), commonly cooked with kefir (fermented milk) and flour.
