Has anyone at Microsoft even considered adding solitaire, pinball and ski run back in?

Brown suit guy is the type to install third party modding tools and fiddle with regkeys.
Instead of switching to Linux, he breaks windows.
Wine was actually a good tip hahah
Also as a side note, i would recommend new Linux users to not learn the command line. Do not touch the command line if you're not sure what you're doing. Like with a knife, it's a powerful tool but you can also do a lot of harm with it if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Everything that most people need (web browsing, writing emails, watching movies, making presentations) can be done with graphical programs only. You shouldn't ever need to touch the command line.
So I agree with you, kinda. it shouldnโt be something scary. It just needs to be understood. The command line is very literal. With a graphical environment, there are design elements that can kind of nudge you towards one way or another of doing or saying something to the computer. A command line is blindly speaking to something. Is incredibly efficient at doing exactly what you already know exactly how to do. The GUI is more assistive.
I only tried Linux once, about 15 years ago, and got scared off because it was all command. When I blow the dust off my laptop I might try it again now that its all user friendly.
Just make sure to pick the right distro. Some are complex still to cater to us veterans
I don't know, the most whining I see here on Lemmy is from Linux people.
Finally swapped to Linux last week and loving it! Kubuntu because I wanted KDE for KZones since I was using FancyZones from PowerToys on Windows. The hardest part was migrating my qBitTorrent, Sonarr/Radarr/Plex because they all point to windows drives. A simple replace in the DB file fixed it, and weโre running smoothly!
Gonna get an auto encode/upload working this weekend, and Iโm so excited. I donโt feel held back like windows, and it doesnโt feel like work configuring it, which I was afraid of.
A few hiccups here and there, but I think of it like growing pains that will eventually go away.

Yeah, once you learn the Linux way of doing things or the KDE way of doing something, after some time, it'll just be old hat. Just like how it was learning the Windows or MacOS way of doing things.
I have been online linux mint for a good while now.
