This is by far the worst take I've seen on the topic. Sorry for being rude, but it sounds like you haven't touched a computer since that last time in 1990.
Surprise, it's 2024 and windows will obliterate the battery even after you turn off the machine.
There is, though it's via dconf, but it's justified as it's a thing few people would want to tweak.
Sounds like an excel problem to me
I don't use either, but I'm pretty sure filter views are available in libreoffice calc. Open source DB's and Access? What are you talking about, exactly?
The what now? Are you talking about CUPS daemon?
systemctl stop cups && systemctl disable cups
. Enjoy your 2.5megs of ram back at a cost of not being able to print anything. Now try and do that on windows without bricking your system.If you insist on needing a GUI, go ham. But don't you diss the command line. Being able to do things without GUI is anything but a con.
That's notoriously a windows problem, not a linux one. You must be misremembering it
Not recognize it like, not being picked up by xinput, or not even listed in lsusb? I haven't ever heard of non-class-compliant mouse. Is that something to do with the G-Hub thingamajig? If so, that's on logitech, not linux.
No, it won't. If linux didn't pick it up without a driver, then win95 won't either. And it's even worse in reverse. I have a bunch of old hardware that won't ever work on modern windows because the last drivers released are for WinXP, which are not compatible nor even portable to subsequent versions. All of them are plug-n-play on linux, though.
Huh? You mean the desktop environments? The shell is a thing very few people ever care about.
The overwhelming majority of systems are either in GNOME/GTK or KDE/Qt ecosystem, unless you really know what you're doing and want to go with something completely different. But even then, there's a lot of re-use or re-implementation of components from one or the other. It's great to have this choice. Sure, it can be a hassle if components from one don't play nice with another. But then, you're comparing it to windows, that uses components from 3 distinct eras, that don't really work together either.
