Main deal breakers right now include:
- Anti cheat support (this is getting better)
- Game compatibility (this is NEARLY solved but you still get the occasional game that crashes or doesn’t wanna work well)
- Variable refresh rate support on multi monitors (yes wayland exists for this, but…)
- Wayland support isn’t quite there. Implementations of it still have extra latency, using xwayland for games can have a performance hit, there’s still bugs (looking at you SDDM), etc. Once KDE 6 and wine wayland come out I expect this to be solved
- Multi monitor scaling still sucks. KDE does it the best and I still run into problems with blurry applications on my mixed resolution setup
Fact of the matter is, Windows has none of these issues, and the problems windows does have for me (customization, spying, etc) are a lot less major and easier to deal with then the issues I have on Linux.
The main problem you’re gonna have with this is explaining to them the difference between gender and sex, how gender is really just a social construct, that sort of thing. Get them on that first, then the suggetsions of some of the other commenters will probably go down a lot easier.
