Without any spoilers, I just want to make sure. Is it still open? Is there any part that is blocked off, or long gone?

What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows? by Cwilliams in c/linux@lemmy.ml

IMHO, anti-virus on windows is actually important. Yes, it takes up a lot of CPU, but there are so many viruses that target windows.

What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux? by Cwilliams in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Cwilliams@beehaw.org 34 points 1 year ago

I learned to never settle. If you don't like the default workflow of Gnome, try some extensions, or even a different DE. Same with Package Managers. If you don't like the syntax, make an alias. Don't just "deal with it". Windows has brainwashed people into thinking that there is only one way to do a thing.
