- mhh__ 5y agoIt may require less administration but what administration you do have to do takes much longer in my experience - some Linux things are arcane, but much isn't, but when you get to things Microsoft don't really want you to play with you're on your own
- mszcz 5y agoFor me, what makes Linux a better administration experience is the ability to backup and move configuration. In Linux it's all files. In Windows? Who knows. It's registry entries, files spread across hidden directories and god knows what.
- qalmakka 5y agoTrue that. On Linux _at least_ you almost always have a way out of issues, because you can pretty much forcefully change, update or modify everything. Windows has too much "magic" nobody outside of Redmond, WA truly understands, so when things go south you can only hope that it can fix itself, or it's a goner.
