     @itsfoss No comaprison. Linux by far is a better experience than any other OS if you value your privacy.

     I do miss this:

     C:/DOS
     C:/DOS/RUN
     RUN DOS RUN!

     😂

     @itsfoss at this point I just feel handicapped using any other operating system. However I do a lot of work in the terminal to maximize my efficiency. For the average user I can see why it’s hard to make an argument for Linux but it’s undeniable that Linux will make you more productive on your computer if you learn the tricks of the trade.

     @itsfoss Easy!
     GNU/Linux systems are user friendly. They are friendly operating systems, not user hostile.
     They are not actively hemming you in, spying on you, or forcing ads and other shit down your throat.

     For me, the UX in Linux feels geared towards the user actually owning their computing environment. Things like:

     - Getting a file hash without a command line.

     - Deleting ANY file / program.

     - Not having settings be arbitrarily greyed-out.

     @itsfoss If I make a generalization in terms of user experience: I was serving the system on other systems. In a Linux system, the system serves me.
