    That’s not my experience at all ,there’s nothing about windows that “just works”. If feels like two or three different systems badly stapled together.

      Windows arguably is, indeed, two or three different systems stapled together. There’s the C code kernal bits, the .Net runtime higher level bits, and the Electron “this didn’t need to be fast anyway and we only knew how to write JavaScript” bits.

      I don’t know about you, but unless you’re downloading a programm made for Windows 95, you can install anything without any trouble on Windows. Meanwhile Linux needs you to run a bunch of commands every time and half the time the commands from the download page don’t work because they’re for some specific distro only and you gotta look up different ones.

        I don’t know what’s so difficult about going to the app manager, searching for the app and installing it. It’s a thousand times easier than on windows plus everything is neatly updated automatically

          I find the windows update and Linux graphical updater processes identical. They only diverge at the end when the Windows one fails with a mysterious error message and offers to retry or open a troubleshooter that won’t work.
