Could you point me to an ELI5 with the advantages of segregated witness vs blocksize increase? or is it the same thing?

From a layman's view, SegWit is a soft fork, while blocksize increase is a hard fork.

Is this the closest we'll get to an increase in block size for the next few months?

that's the process to accomplish the change, but to use what will it change ?

I've been hearing about blocksize increase for some time and it seemed really easy and logical, then there's segwit that I don't understand, what is the diffrence in terms of usage for bitcoiners ?
