It really doesn't take a lot of expertise to use linux, depending on what you're doing (and what distro you're using) it might not even take opening a terminal
My parents use Linux without knowing it. They pretty much only need the internet browser...
Is there like a set and forget thing for Linux?
Like with windows and Mac, I just kinda boot up my laptop and then that’s it.
I'm not sure I understand the question tbth, on my computer I usually just leave it on all the time, with occasional restarts when I decide I want to do updates
No settings change or anything when I turn it on if that's what you mean, I just turn it on, and use it like a normal computer
Yeah, often on linux the setup process is even faster and easier than on windows, and there isn't much you have to do after that to get things to work. You just boot it up, log in, and then do whatever you want to.
