    Every piece of software that doesn’t come with the default repositories, which in many distros includes the ‘niche’ software of vidcard drivers. Samba network sharing v1, disabled in both Windows and Linux, is a simple double click of the app feature to reenable in Windows. In Linux, you have to change entries in at least 2 files, assuming you can find correct instructions in the first place.

      Samba v1 has been disabled by default for years in Windows, because of security concerns. If m$ is even warning against using it, you probably shouldn’t use it.

      Enabling something that’s deprecated as fuck is not a very good example.

        Hey, you know what is a good example? Every app not included in the default app repository. But, you conveniently skipped that to make a useless point. GG.

      I mean you have to find those check boxes in Windows too.

      I do think some things in Linux are still not super user friendly, but for example installing apps is much better. Sure something may not be in the repo, even if some distros have impressively vast ones, but even that is easily solved with flatpak and appimage nowadays.
