    10+ years of Windows and I still can’t say I’m familiar with it.

    Linux has a steep learning curve for sure, but if I have to say one good thing about it, it’s the openness of Linux.

    I dread seeing the message “An unknown error has just occurred” when I use Windows. Tell me, Microsoft, tell me what the error was!

      Agreed, the lack of proper (and often any) error messages is incredibly infuriating. It makes it impossible to diagnose anything, the only thing you can do is look for forum posts to make sense of the weird behaviour.

      On linux, if something doesn’t work it tells me why and I can just follow a chain to the root cause every time without fail.
