In my biased opinion, I have little doubt that Linux could have a far larger desktop market share, if it was more like my customized Windows 11 (again, my opinion) , without which customization and enhancements, would be far less efficient than it is.
Want to quickly copy and paste? Remapp CapsLock (via AutoHotKey) to ctrl+c (copy) along with the Esc key to ctrl+v, (paste) and NumLock to Esc (I do not play games), and the middle mouse key to ctrl+x (cut).
CapsLock::^c
Esc::^v
mbutton::^x

Want to get back W/77 start menu, and taskbar, etc, and or add items to your right click menu, and expand "open with" options to whatever you want?
Most Windows users do not even know about the level of safe and free enhancements available, which they should find improve Windows despite MS upgrades which overall are negative as regards efficient functionality.
Like Open Shell, download Open Shell (click on Releases>Latest on middle right side) to replace the mobile device W/11 start menu, and there is Explorer Patcher that restores the Windows 11 taskbar to be exactly like Windows 10, while Windows 7+ Taskbar Tweaker (I am using the beta ver.) provides more customization.
Then there are the over 200 tweaks available in Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4 and now there is Ultimate Windows Tweaker 5 for Windows 11 from the Windows club.
Add to this the many Winaero features of the Winaero Tweaker and is Right-Click Extender (add items to many right click menus)
Resulting in expansive quickly accessible layouts (composite image of desktop view in Windows 11 with Start and Right-Click menus, default Device manager; task bar via Explorer Patcher. Thank God for such — to be used for good — and those who provide them):
Linux distros themselves seem to copy the idea that sparse menus, spaced out icons, are best.
Having tried every major and many minor Linux distros, I find Linux equivalents usually lacking compared to Windows with its greater easily available wealth of safe freeware. Even its default device manager is better than what I have seen in Linux distros.
