      yep, I have used many linux distros for 20 years or so, and they are certainly much harder to migrate to than checks notes pressing two keys and running a command to get a local account.

      good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol

        Why is it acceptable to use command line to setup Windows, but not Linux?

        Bottom line is, if you’re not willing to put the minimal effort in, then you shouldn’t ever complain about Windows being shit.

            No, seems pretty clear to me.

            Then literally immediately, in the same comment:

            Good luck installing your pirated Windows without needing to use the CLI, lol.

              quoting me and saying “don’t you see?” is not exactly demonstrating reading comprehension.

              if you want to go on a crusade against CLIs, feel free, but leave me out. i think they’re great.

              the comparison i replied to was whether it was easier to migrate to Linux vs setting up a local account, and any user is going to spend much more time migrating than running a single command.

        I use the terminal on my dev machine, but that’s because of what I do. Never opened the terminal on my laptops.

          I’ve installed Ubuntu and fedora workstation on 5 machines in the past 6 months. Not a single install required using the terminal even once. A couple of those installs were on sketchy hardware and everything still just worked.

          Meanwhile I installed win11 on a new machine a couple of weeks ago and it had missing drivers on install, trouble activating, and the login screen switched to Chinese characters after a few reboots (it is a known bug).
