Go to hp website and download crapware thats gonna search for drivers for you. Make sure to install symantics bullshit, amd catalyst bullshit, hp battery bullshit and other useless crap too.

Meanwhile linux boots to a perfectly running computer first time with no icons in the tray.

You forgot whan the upgrade of the drivers and bloatware goes wrong on windows... What a great experience of "simplicity"

It seems like alottaaaaaa people on lemmy specifically haven't used windows in the past several years. Built in AV is pretty much king on windows. Almost all drivers auto install even Nvidia albeit not the latest nvidia sometimes. Ten has built in battery options. You're speaking about prebuilts and trying to spin the narrative. Windows 10 is a great OS, it's hilarious how people attempt to pretend it's not.

You forgot the part where you have to look up what to write in the terminal whenever you want to do something, but I forgive you, it's easy to forget something you need to do daily.

You take the mouse and do clicky clicky. Luckily theres usually one control panel on linux in contrast to three more and more legacy versions in windows where you need to go three levels deep in order to change the local ip address.

You don’t have to use a terminal if you don’t want to. I choose to because it’s more convenient for me.

I literally click one button and it starts the entire automated update process. The only interruption is asking for a password

You probably never used Linux. Or you used it 20 years ago.

Last time was... Oh... 4 months ago, before my RPi was put in storage?

If you have to do that to install anything, it's either always your package manager or something that can be copy-pasted from the included installation guide.

You don't even need the terminal in most cases. You have GUIs. Simple ones.

I'd rather have to type a line than struggle with installing 10 pieces of unnecessary bloatware individually

Imagine thinking the terminal is something to be forced into.

On the other hand, it takes only four letters and hitting enter for me to update everything installed on my pc so not that hard to memorize a few commands.
