Linux is easier to use than trying to registry hack your way into a local account.
not really
yep, I have used many linux distros for 20 years or so, and they are certainly much harder to migrate to than checks notes pressing two keys and running a command to get a local account.
good luck getting more than a few hours into a fresh linux install without needing to use a CLI, lol
yet you claim windows you need to also....checks notes run commands in cli
sure, because the comment i was replying to talked about local accounts, and that’s how you do that on some editions of Windows 11.
ok.. but youre claiming that jumping through hoops to get Linux to work is bad, yet it's ok on windows? makes no sense.
I'd personally rather have full control of my PC rather then some company telling me how to use my computer.
Why is it acceptable to use command line to setup Windows, but not Linux?
Bottom line is, if you're not willing to put the minimal effort in, then you shouldn't ever complain about Windows being shit.
you seem to have misinterpreted or misread this comment thread, sorry.
No, seems pretty clear to me.
Then literally immediately, in the same comment:
Good luck installing your pirated Windows without needing to use the CLI, lol.
quoting me and saying “don’t you see?” is not exactly demonstrating reading comprehension.
if you want to go on a crusade against CLIs, feel free, but leave me out. i think they’re great.
the comparison i replied to was whether it was easier to migrate to Linux vs setting up a local account, and any user is going to spend much more time migrating than running a single command.
I have nothing against, CLI, the point is that you're complaining about needing to use CLI on Linux, even though you literally just said that you have to use it to get your pirated Windows to work.
I think they just wanna troll but no one's taking the bait and all providing quality responses explaining why they are a bit misinformed/ignorant.
I use the terminal on my dev machine, but that's because of what I do. Never opened the terminal on my laptops.
I’ve installed Ubuntu and fedora workstation on 5 machines in the past 6 months. Not a single install required using the terminal even once. A couple of those installs were on sketchy hardware and everything still just worked.
Meanwhile I installed win11 on a new machine a couple of weeks ago and it had missing drivers on install, trouble activating, and the login screen switched to Chinese characters after a few reboots (it is a known bug).
/shrug
🤓☝️yesh' but, did you consider that uh... checks notes hmm.. Linux difficult?
/s
How do you run that command you mentioned? Was it a few hours in or right at installation and login?
