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"
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 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?
RPI is ARM not X86_64.
You really think that's a proper equivalent?
Because it's not, it's not even the same at the terminal level because you're missing quite a number of select tools that aren't cross-compiled (yet).
Try Windows on ARM and compare it to the x86 version.
Not to mention both Linux and MacOS are way more developed on ARM than Windows is.
MacOS being the best ofc, thanks to the compatibility layer.
I believe your judging Linux too harshly based on an uneven playing ground.
Don't hurt your back with that goalpost my man!
Don't hurt yourself trying to comprehend the difference between ARM & x86_64 architecture my man!
Deadass, I challenge you to install Windows on that Raspberry Pie, actually use it for a week, film the whole thing and upload a video on "just how amazing and usable Windows on ARM is compared to it's X86 version" & seriously mean it. If you can do that, only then will your obvious troll energy turn into anything real. Fuck it, if you manage to install steam on Windows 11 ARM that'd be enough.
I've been there, done that. ಠ_ಠ
You realise the comment I was replying to was "I bet you never used Linux or you used it 20 years ago" and I simply replied to that and you're the one who decided to shift the conversation to talk about ARM vs x86/64 and their compatibility with other OS... Right? You realize you derailed the conversation?
RIGHT?
I literally click one button and it starts the entire automated update process. The only interruption is asking for a password
First off, you really don't need the terminal if you choose to avoid it. You can get by just fine with a GUI package manager included in the "user-friendly" Linux distros; which is essentially a graphical app store that handles all installs, uninstalls, updates & system updates for you with a point and click.
Second :
Tab key, Auto completion, command cycling, command highlighting, man pages, TLDR pages, and so on.
There's no; absolutely 0, zippo, nada; reason you should, need, or want to remember individual commands or how to use them when the previously mentioned exist.
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.
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
