Microsoft announced last week that it will allow uninstalling Microsoft Edge in the European Economic Area (EEA) in compliance with the Digital Markets
Are you just typing random letters? Terminal commands are basically programs, like word. There’s thousands of them, just like there’s thousands of programs on windows. And yeah, these programs, or terminal commands can get quirky, but they are also very powerful.
Luckily for you, modern distributions work perfectly fine without ever touching the terminal, so you should be fine if you prefer gui programs.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I was saying there is nothing I couldn’t do in linux that wasn’t easier in windows. And there were (and still are) plenty of things you can only do on windows.
If you want to use the worse OS to fulfill some psychological complex, go ahead mate but this techveganism is just dull and old.
i find there are lots of things i can’t do well on windows, but it might be because my knowledge started to stagnate about 20 years ago. for instance, pathing all my executables. i know it sounds niche but hear me out: i still write shell scripts basically every day. so if i need to call, say, inkscape to convert an svg to pdf, i find it’s easier in debian, since the inkscape executable is already in my path. and i create scripts all teh time and just stock em in my path. i use windows at work, and i find the whole notion of writing shell scripts for it daunting, not least because i need to track down the exact location of each executable.

Just a reminder for everyone reading this, the comment above is written without an /s.
Just let that sink in for a moment.
It’s sinked in.
I agree with the comment above. Have you ever used any modern distro?
I was dualbooting ubuntu around 10 years ago until I figured everything it could do I could do easier on windows.
Even Ubuntu in 2006 had a file explorer.

You were saying that you had to memorize commands just to open a folder.
Plus, in my experience, everything was about the same if not easier on EndeavourOS.
