I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.
Because that’s how most people are taught.
You can use PowerShell to do more than the GUI can most of the time. Both locally and remotely.
It’s not most of them, it’s literally all of them. In the decade or so I’ve been doing enterprise software support I have never seen a Windows admin use SSH, nor met one who wasn’t flummoxed at the notion of a CLI, nor worked with any Windows server that didn’t have a GUI.
As one of those Windows admins who uses all of these things, I’d have to say it can’t quite possibly be all of them…
I imagine if you’re able to figure out a CLI you can also read a log, do some googling, and figure things out on your own instead of calling me.
But there are depressingly few of you. So few that it took me until now to learn that Windows even has SSH.
