Seriously both of you....
Linux is not hard to install or use anymore. It's as easy to install as any Windows operating system.
Just click a few buttons, type a little information in... way less than Windows asks for, mainly a username, password, your timezone, and your keyboard layout. That's it.
Long gone are the days of having to install everything via terminal, well unless you are going for
Arch
(By the way) installing stuff is pretty straightforward as most every distro basically has the equivalent of an app store or Microsoft Store, whatever they call it.
Games really aren't that hard to get to run under Wine, Bottles, or Q4Wine.
If you get stuck on something, do like you would with Windows.... look it up.
Honestly, Linux now is probably more user friendly and God knows, it's less intrusive on your privacy than Windows. I can't vouch for macOS as I have never used it, so...
You don't have to have a computer science degree or be an Einstein-level genius to use Linux. If you can read, follow instructions, and search for solutions on Google, you're pretty good to go with Linux.
When I first started using Linux, about 10 or so years ago, maybe 15, I don't remember now. Yeah, I had no fucking idea what I was doing, but I learned. And if it had been as easy as it is now, then I wouldn't have ever looked back and stuck with Windows 7 for all those years
