Sometimes it just comes down to preference. I like Linux a lot for systems where I need the low overhead. But on my gaming PC, where I don't have to worry as much about overhead, I prefer the convenience of not having to learn SSH commands or open source workarounds.

You know that on Windows you then don't have ssh in the first place? Its like deinstalling ssh on Linux... It would be the same. It don't understand your point with ssh.

My lack of understanding of your sentence is exactly why I'll never bother with Linux. It may be amazing and triple my PCs speed but I simply don't have time (or motivation) to learn the vocabulary, let alone how things actually work.

Windows may be worse than Linux, but I can install it and be playing any game I want within a few hours with no research. I just cba with anything that I have to think about for more than 2seconds when I want to use my PC, it exists for me to kill time (and occasionally various admin tasks) and I don't have any need to complicate life further by using Linux and having to keep up with the latest ssh or whatever you're talking about.

Actually... I know you have no knowledge. But to explain to you how nonsese it is.

On Linux you have a greater experience of plug and play. You just open the store app and install any application you want. Done. Not sure why you need to learn any vocabulary and not sure why you think you need that after I said that you don't need it. Its all GUI. Games just install and work. You only need to have Steam or Lutris. Faster to install Games than on Windows tbh.

On Windows you need to search the whole web through fake ads and non official fake apps to get what you want. At worse, malware is installed within seconds.
