Ha, then stay on Windows 7/10 or you'll lose your control panel soon..

I have heard this argument for over 20 years.. "You have to use the terminal in Linux, so user hostile".

Well, try to do ANY windows sysadmin tasks without Powershell.. See how far that gets you. Need to manage Exchange? Powershell. Need to change some network settings? Powershell.. It is even getting more and more unavoidable. Now Powershell doesn't even have a good terminal environment, sane parameters or good usability. And a general lack of documentation for all the obscure incantations.

In the meantime KDE on Linux is wonderful, fully integrated with the system, easy software maintenance (on Kubuntu for example) and with a sane settings menu... You hardly need a terminal at all. Try to find that in Windows.

So sorry, this argument is either invalid, out of date or Microsoft is even worse.

Ha, I had to look up the most up-to-date acronym on Wikipedia and found this one. They are NVidia and Adobe.

I quite like this one :)

I would buy YouTube Premium in a heartbeat if it wasn't by the morally corrupt Google (or any other from MANAMANA).

Strangly this UI always reminds me of the hospital scene from Idiocracy... Click the icon for where it hurts

As others have said: it depends on your technical expertise.. But a nice and cheap solution is hosting a static blog build with Jekyll on Gitlab pages.

Spaces are fine in filenames. Just always always always quote your paths and/or variables..

Sadly no, that one is three months old. Hopefully they'll publish it on the Linux Foundation yt channel or something.
