The past <5 years gave been so good for Linux usability.
oh yeah absolutely. but it's still a bit of a culture shock, and u can't really avoid terminal etc
I don't try to avoid terminal, so I wouldnt know, but, counterpoint:
If you want modern windows to work at all, you can't really avoid fucking around in registry.
honestly i haven't used windows in over a decade. i wouldn't know. but people tend to be weirded out by having to do the terminal stuff but partner is vibing with it
I remember even in old usable windows some amount of registry fuckery or constant reinstalls were necessary
true tbf
Honestly, I think the muscle memory for windows key cmd enter is still in my hands
i cry for you luckily i was a child most of the time i was using windows, specially cuz my school did all its IT classes on ubuntu, so i didn't have to suffer much of the windows bs
