Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Linux: You can mostly stick to the GUI to install software, touch the terminal for obscure/command line applications and install GPU drivers and you have a functioning system
Windows: Forced to go into regedit and services.msc to fix high resource usage on a fresh install, debloat scripts to remove bloat on Windows and need to update system, scower the internet for drivers and all the software you need
I can see why I got fed up very fast trying to use Windows 11 in QEMU tbh...never trying that shitshow again...
Edit the only packages I had to install through Bash are: Neofetch, Htop, OpenSeeFace, Brave Browser, Wine, Nvidia drivers and ProtonVPN. Linux is very user friendly imo
7 packages from the command line isn't that many, but you're failing to account for the fact that to most Windows users, the amount they'll realistically install is 0, both because they don't know how to use the command line and because they don't know what to install.

And keeping your software up to date is a giant pain.
Use Winget or Chocolatey. If you use an app that's not packaged yet, it's easy to package it yourself.
But on Ubuntu I don't have to use the terminal to update my apps?
