While I much prefer Linux as a platform, it’s fair to say Linux has more than it’s fair share of historical baggage as well. The entire design of the console for starter: TTYs, ANSI escape sequences used for encoding data in band, typeless byte streams, job control being a weird cross responsibility between the kernel, shell and application, etc.
…And that’s without addressing any other parts of the system beyond the console.
I’d still take Linux over Windows every day if the week though.
