Using Windows after 15 years on Linux
It seems his complaints boil down to:<p>1) You don&#x27;t have the choice of multiple Desktop Environments (When was the last time this was not true? Litestep?)<p>2) Windows applications and utilities tend to be GUI based. (I thought that was the whole point of Windows...)<p>2a) Stuff is stored in the registry (I thought linux people loved digging into and tweaking settings)<p>2b) Paths are different. (No kidding. But we&#x27;ve known this since DOS vs Unix)<p>3) Windows sometimes restarts itself (Again, there are settings that help, but Windows has done this for quite some time now.)<p>4) No apt-get|zypper|etc, must install exe or msi from the internet. Or use the awful Windows Store. (No debate there, the Windows store is awful. But installing the latest Firefox is a lot easier on Windows than Debian Stable. I rather like not having to fight with a central repository of applications.)<p>Those have been the complaints of linux users for over 20 years. I feel like I&#x27;m arguing on Arstechnica circa 1998.<p>Use the tool that&#x27;s best for your job. I don&#x27;t bitch about my socket set being metric when I need SAE. At this point the differences are known and well understood.
