Never said it didn’t. Doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft is notoriously worse by every metric and because of its position in the market is far more potentially damaging. Almost like if you sell an OS as something that can be trusted to run mission critical applications, you probably shouldn’t phone it in when it comes to securing that OS.
🙄👌👍
Definitely just not easier to use even you don't want to fuck around in the terminal.
lol tell me you've never used linux without telling me you've never used linux
Contributor to TF and several CNCF projects. You use my code every day. Different tools different jobs twat.
Apologies, I misread your comment as saying you had to use the terminal to use Linux (I was drunk ngl). I still believe Linux is easier to use than Windows with the caveat that the easiest system to use will always be the one you have the most experience with. I switched from MacOS/Windows to Fedora on my personal machine a few months ago and it's been smooth sailing for me, though I have always used Linux at least somewhat (I work in cyber security), so that has probably helped.
Dismissing Linux as a tool for a different job (ie not personal/business computing) is an odd position to take for someone with your experience.
