       I've heard people say that Windows is more intuitive than Linux, but I think that's more just a matter of familiarity.On Android, iOS and on Linux, the default way of getting applications installed on your system are through a package manager or app store. It genuinely seems weird to have to go on to the internet to install applications.

       Grabbing random files from the internet doesn't sound particularly safe way to install software. How do you verify the software is legit?Often you look online and there will be multiple websites claiming to be the host of the official program and without a proper get repository to review, it's really hard to tell what's what.To me, that does not feel more intuitive.

       Linux has been my main operating system for over 20 years and trying to remember how things used to be does feel like I'm going back in time.Using Windows feels like retro computing and not in a good way.

       @art even a new modern Windows 11 machine feels like using a system that is still using a 5400 RPM hard drive after predominantly using solid-state storage
