Same here but the other way. I find Linux much simpler to grasp than endless hard to navigate menus, windows where each is from different land, registry, shell and what not. I rarely use Windows but when I do, it feels like MS either ruined it or I simply forgot how to do things. I used to think like you so I guess it's just a matter of taking the leap and learning new OS Bonus points: no ads, no Edge or Drive bullshit, nearly any small quirk that annoys me can be rid of (which admittely can take some effort BUT it can be done) Example: - Linux: just type the command vetted by hundreds of people on StackOverflow to edit the config file - Windows: open app, click this and that... Where is it? Ohhh outside of screen because it uses super duper stylish gaming UI. Let me change system-wide UI scaling just to see thing I want to toggle. No, there was no way to just drag that window.

If you’re having to faff about with the registry every day you’re doing it wrong!

  If you're having to use the terminal for anything other than your own work (actually even then it should be optional, but I find it easier to run make/gcc/etc. directly vs using an IDE) everyday something has also gone wrong, so I think it's a fair comparison.

  If you are never having to faff about with registry, then you are either lucky or using a different OS. I include installing a fresh copy of Windows to resolve the inevitable corrosion that Windows has over time.

    > I include installing a fresh copy of Windows to resolve the inevitable corrosion that Windows has over time. Remember that one from the past and countless times I had to do this for others because Windows would become a mess. Nowadays I just upgrade old Linux distros running for 5+ years because of security concerns or out of boredom. Magically still running same as fresh install

      One of my favorite things about NixOS is that this problem is permanently solved.
