Yeah, and NT was pretty much just a corporate and government thing throughout the 90s. It wasn't until XP that home users got it on the desktop, and even then, the first user created automatically had all admin rights, because people were still used to the Win9x/DOS way of doing things. Separation of different accounts with different privilege levels wasn't a widespread practice up until maybe Windows Vista.

Oh yeah, there are advantages to each, despite the bickering and camps we put ourselves into. It all comes down to what abilities you're gonna lose, and what you're gonna gain when making the decision.

For me, I rarely game, and I do a lot of hobby electronics and programming, so Linux is a good fit. There's so many cool open source programmer utilities out there.

For my wife, it fits not so much.

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

That's nice, but this ain't MacOS or Windows. This is Linux.

Sorry but 20 years of "but this isn't exactly like Winders11!!!one!" starts to grate on me. It's a different OS with a different philosophy and a different workflow. Everbody coming from Windows had to learn to deal with the nuances of that OS as well, nuances they've completely forgotten about because it's second nature.

I don't WANT Linux to be exactly like MacOS and Windows. I want it to stand on its own, with its own ideas on how to run a computer.

I'm sure the FBI and Secret Service are doing some overtime today too.

The term "app" usually refers to applications for mobile devices such as phones.

Back to the 80s/early 90s where the only people using computers were the ones that actually knew how to use computers? Hell yes, take me back.

Me, the mystery dude in the game server who doesn't have a mic, doesn't use any voice features, never text chats, but always shows up and plays.
