Absolutely! I've been on Linux since 2017 and KDE Plasma since 2019-ish. It outperforms Windows even in terms of usability/ease of use in most cases. My 70+ years old, tech-illiterate parents happily use it.

But things like mounting and partitioning make me scratch my head. KDEs partitioner requires sudo rights to even start and then formats partitions in a way that you need sudo rights to access it. It's annoying and would be very easy to fix.

You can fix it yourself also, just add the command being run to the sudoers file and it will always run as root without needing your input.

Im sure chat gpt can give you the exact command to put in.
