- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

This is entirely dependend on what you're used to I think, because I used to think this too but now I can't do anything with windows anymore.
I thought MacOS being the most user friendly was its only claim to fame.
Shoving basic settings under "accessibility" is not intuitive in the slightest.
A good gui first interface is probably their main metric.
Linux is great for tinkering. But if you don’t want to tinker just change some setting it’s pretty awful. Every DE and their associated settings programs leave a LOT to be desired. Windows at least has only one (maybe two thanks windows 8+) ways to do anything and it’s well documented.
Command line? Yeah Linux is great. But most people want to avoid that at all costs.
Sounds settings have at least 3 places where they can be set in Windows, and the places don’t necessarily implement all of the functionality of the others.
Windows settings are a mess.
Basically. Using windows after spending a decade plus with Gnome and macOS is cumbersome.
