You know whats worse than doing things in windows command line or powershell? The registry
"Nooooo! I cant $sudo nano /etc/some.conf!!!!"
Regedit -> HKEY_USERS/microsoft/windows/system/some_setting --> value=FUCK type=DWORD
That's because you are sending your Fucks to the wrong key. You are missing the /feedback folder under system
This is a common meme but essentially is never needed
The deliberate misrepresentation here is that the Windows registry supports importing keys from a text file, so most of the time you have to mess with it you just download a file and double click on it.
Is that super secure? Nope. But hey, anytime you need to do something on a Linux terminal you're also copy/pasting random crap you found online, don't pretend you're not.
The ultimate point still stands. None of these matter to normies, it's how often you need to tinker or troubleshoot to begin with. For most users the acceptable number is zero.
