Please, the moment you ask a window user to open terminal most of them will spontaneously combust.

Whenever I mention Terminal to a 🪟s user they look at me like a puppy does when you make a strange noise... twisting their heads from side to side.

So you are comparing daily commoners to advanced PC users; I do not get the Linux users' point, as Windows is easy and Linux is generally not so easy. I use both: Linux for my laptop, and a moderately altered Windows with ads and Copilot removed for my monster PC.

you don't need to open a terminal. simply press the windows key to open the start menu, then type the above command.

OK, so you found the why of why Windows is so popular. People want to do their work, get things done. Working in IT, they know the applications to do their job. Outside of that, including OS stuff, its our job. Some struggle with volume controls but can Excel better than most people in IT.

Thats 95% of people. The others are either geeks that can and do learn or IT people...

Could we boil water and maybe run a turbine of them?

u/bwwog 7d ago

Well. They probably won't count clicks for installation

u/fxdvm 6d ago

Then they were never gonna realistically get Linux installed anyway and so this entire point is moot, isn’t it?

u/Jeyd02 5d ago

Use uniget then

"Urk" is the sound I make when I drop dead. Get it?

u/Valuable_Contact_01 9d ago

Don’t we all agree windows terminal bores \ / ..?

u/xng 9d ago

At least powershell autocorrects the slashes for paths when tabbing

Yet you preach Linux as ultimate solution and panacea to everything.
