I've never had to deshittify Windows, everything just works. But every time install Linux, I have to spend hours searching for little configuration problems. Like why Ctrl+C doesn't work in the terminal. Why doesn't Shift+arrow select text? Yes, there are solutions for these problems, but you have either install some crap or copy-paste stuff into config files.
- dsego 2y ago> Like why Ctrl+C doesn't work in the terminal. Bad example, this is the same as asking why doesn't sudo work in windows.

- bboygravity 2y agosudo literally works in Windows. Both in Windows itself as well as in WSL.
- anthk 2y ago>Ctrl-C Ctrl-C it's a signal. Now, try creating these folders under Windows: - NUL - AUX - PRN - COM Good luck.
- bufferoverflow 2y agoI don't care about creating such folders. But I care about Ctrl+C working. Your obscure requirements are meaningless.
- consteval 2y agoI'm happy to report Ctrl+C doesn't work in cmd either. Also if Windows is perfect out of the box then just use Windows. For me, I'd always have to spend hours configuring Windows to not be shitty and to adapt to my workflow. At that point I'm better off just running Debian.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoThis post is evidence against. There’s hundreds more. Ctrl+C has always worked on Linux—but there are real issues, which makes me think you’re not being honest.
- colanderman 2y agoCtrl+C also doesn't "work" (assuming you mean "copy text"?) in Windows command prompt last I checked. (Ctrl+Insert I believe performs copy.)
