    In atleast 3 distros I wanted to add program at start-up, easy peasy on windows , Linux is mess , some has gui for that but these three distorsion HAD ZERO option for it and I still don’t know how to do it.

    In windows i want to serch for here is program installed, so easy to know and find . In Linux I had to fight multiple terminal commands ( in 2024 no less) and ev n then indid not come across whwre is the program installed

    In Linux I plugged in hdd and wanted a program to acess its content, turns out I can’t do that without mumbo jumbo or wv n with it Whwre as in windows , inplug it and VOILA! I can access it across anything.

    Linux MAY be good at something , but it still sucks for real Common usage.

      I had none of these issues and i don’t know what you are talking about.

      If you install programs through your package manager they come with a start-menu entry just as easily findable as in Windows. If you don’t install programs with an installer in Windows you get the same problem.

      Also mounting HDDs made its content accessible to all my programs so far, without any issue. I think you must have chosen extremely obscure distros or fucked things up by yourself during install processes.

      Which distros? Just saying Linux is kind of pointless. Linux is the kernel.

      Some distros come with more pre-installed features and functions, some come with less.

      Some are more average user-friendly than others.

      I put Debian on my laptop and have not had any problems accessing external drives or plugging in multiple monitors.
