The worst thing about Linux is its users
I find the “it just works” line ironic.
Because that’s usually what Windows has going for it. Meanwhile any Linux distro I’ve tried so far has me search for how to install a specific thing and try 5 different results, because of course the command to copy&paste on the first few doesn’t work. Doesn’t help that most sites and people tell you to install software this way instead of using some software centre / app store where you just click on an install button.
That’s not my experience at all ,there’s nothing about windows that “just works”. If feels like two or three different systems badly stapled together.
I don’t know about you, but unless you’re downloading a programm made for Windows 95, you can install anything without any trouble on Windows. Meanwhile Linux needs you to run a bunch of commands every time and half the time the commands from the download page don’t work because they’re for some specific distro only and you gotta look up different ones.
I don’t know what’s so difficult about going to the app manager, searching for the app and installing it. It’s a thousand times easier than on windows plus everything is neatly updated automatically
That is assuming that every program is on that app manager and that the app manager itself doesn’t have issues.
Most of them are, the ones that are not, usually are packaged with flatpack or snap. In the few cases they are not you’re on your own, but that’s just the same with Windows
