A good way to fix this, I guess, would be teaching children to use GNU/Linux alongside or in place of Windows when they’re learning how to use computers in digital literacy classes.
Because this isn’t an OS problem, it’s a familiarity problem.
Agree, a lot of Windows weirdness is taken as like it’s like computers work overall.
An example I give is when program freeze everyone knows Ctrl+Alt+Del to get the task manager. On Linux mostly there is Ctrl+Alt+ESC and click on the window to kill it.

For generations, parents have been giving kids their old cars or buying a used beater so they can learn to drive.
We need to get a generation of parents giving kids their old laptops or buying a cheap one off eBay with a light linux distro to extend its life.
