I mean, Linux would be less effort.
Yep. Got tired of constantly having to remove/disable yet one more thing Microsoft added. Or finding out some of my previous debloating was reverted or that I hadn't done it perfectly. If it was just a single checkbox and Microsoft actually honored it, I probably wouldn't be salty right now.
Yeah, that was the most surprising part of switching to Linux. It generally takes the same effort or less to get my linux install behaving like I want it than it did with a windows install. Plus windows likes to nagg you to set up shit I didn't want in the first place.
It was kinda funny because that was the whole reason for switching in the first place, but there was this base assumption that Linux was going to be harder than windows, just without stupid MS shit thrown in. But no, it's actually easier, just different in some ways that mean some skills don't transfer.
But LLMs are pretty good for bridging that gap. They aren't perfectly reliable (made up command line arguments are pretty common) but it's good for getting command names from a description of what you want to do, which you can then learn about using pre-LLM methods.
