  1. When you put in a USB stick, it should simply pop up and external drives should show up seperately in the file explorer anyways. But yeah, if you don't know what you're doing, you can quickly make a complete mess out of your folders in windows, while Linux is typically used in a way as to void that.

  2. In programming, you already have to juggle a myriad of tools. The OS at least should simply just work.

  3. Maybe I'm not a "power user" or sth, but I don't know what "learning" an OS is supposed to be. I install the OS, I install my software and then I don't have to think of the OS ever again. Some things are more comfortable in Linux, some things only work in Windows. In the end it only matters to me what the developers of the software I use support best.

  4.  @sangramjitchakraborty7845  It seems absurdly restrictive only to install software that some group of blokes have agreed you should install.

  5. You can simply deinstall it.

  6. You can turn all of the spying off. But yeah, in Linux, you don't have to think about it.

  7.  @Jorge-xf9gs  There is so much nonsense in that comment, it's hard to wrap my head around. If your operating system works and runs the programs you're using, there's no reason to switch. If programming is "easy" why are some programmers paid hundreds of thousands of dollars while others flunk out of CS? Programming easy things is easy, programming hard things is hard. If Python is "one of the worst programming languages", why is it the #1 in scientific computing and ML by far? Are people suffering a collective delusion? It doesn't seem like you're actually using your computer to get anything done.

  8.  @Mayank-mf7xr  Judging from his comment he is either: a sys admin and can't conceptualize that anyone does anything else than him or he doesn't actually use computers for anything and is simply having a sort of perverse love affair with his cpu.

  9. You can use a VM. I did most of the work on my BA on Ubuntu running within a VM, because certain software wouldn't run on Windows and my laptop wouldn't boot Ubuntu from a usb.

  10. If I'm being asked to run a server, I'll just quit the job and start somewhere else, where I'm actually doing what I was schooled to do, lol. When there's an IT problem, that's a problem for the IT service.

  11.  @jamescampbell6728  If I need to know a lot about the operating system, the operating system has already failed. I want to do my job, not massage the hardware. Found Windows 10 and Ubuntu to be about the same. Some stuff is annoying on one, some is annoying with the other. Ubuntu pulls ahead slightly, because it's even more out of my way than Windows.

  12. Typing sudo is easier than executing as admin. And Windows also forces you to use a password.

  13.  @jiraibozo  You make it sound like linux is complete garbage. A good OS should simply let you do your work without needing any extra attention. I have no clue what Arch is about, but using Ubuntu is no different than using Windows or MacOS. Whatever I'm using the terminal for, I'd also have used a terminal for on Windows. And I'd have to look up where to find what online anyways.

  14.  @CrizzyEyes  If you use your computer for anything "involved", you should use a GUI. I don't know what exactly is helped by not wanting to see anything besides a command line. And guess what: You can have all the command lines you want AND see shit in a virtual scenery at the same time.
