It’s super common.

I guess there’s always Haiku?

At 12 I was too scared of downloading most programs for fear of viruses, if I had been asked to partition a drive I would have cried.

It’s there, it’s just not necessary for launching an application. It’s the same as on Android.

I started dual booting Ubuntu and Windows when I was 19 or so and when I’d go back to my Windows partition to do something I realized I had either forgotten or never learned a lot of how to navigate it. I opened it and went “Where is my terminal?” and then remembered cmd and started using it to look for a directory before remembering that’s never how I’d done things on Windows. It was an odd experience.

A big reason I use Lemmy is because I like all the FOSS discussion lmao.

Yeah, this was a weird way for them to phrase this. You can use Meta stuff on Linux and Fediverse stuff on Windows.
