From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish y'all would hold Windows to the same quality standards as your five minutes Ubuntu clicking.

That's me spending 30 minutes trying to figure out how to change hotkeys in Windows, being told that I need to install an "application", realizing said application can moonlight as a keylogger so I end up uninstalling the whole thing and using proton/VMs instead.

Either that or requiring some esoteric registry changes that are gibberish but supposed to do what I'm looking for.

And that's without even dipping our toes into PS.
