Everyone says Linux is better than Windows, but I’m not buying it

Why linux? windows update: restarts when it wants to and then you wait. Need the computer for something right now? Tough

Linux: Use it daily. the only thing i do in terminal is type upd - that an alias for the entire set og update commands. There's a point/click way to do this but why bother? If the update includes a kernel update I get a message that say "Kernel updated. you might want to consider rebooting when it's convenient."

Aside from that daily use on linux, email, web, office suite, etc. are all the same apps I use on windows. My desktop shows what I click on, mo terminal needed.


You are entitled to you pre-conceptions but, for me, I boot linux maybe once a month for turbotax or such like.

A hidden Windows boot certificate is about to expire — check this now

Very useful info but who at home needs secure boot or bitlocker, they are just denial-of-service attacks waiting for you when you really, really need to get into your system.

I replaced my ISP router with UniFi, and nobody warned me about this

Very nice high-priced approach. Some trendnet or netgear manged switches and opnsense running on a small N100 pc gets you the same (more or les) fir $$$ less. Save more and skip managed swiches.
