What exact GUI controls does linux lack that windows doesn't?

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

He's specifically using Ubuntu Gnome, which feels a lot less complete than even Linux Mint Cinnamon. Gnome doesn't want you to customize it at all. I'm surprised they give you a master volume slider.

For what he said is more that when he search for something he only finds CLI commands, he just doesn't know about the GUI controls.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , I can do every normal thing I wanna do in a GUI on Fedora

@hellfire103 I switched over a few months back to avoid all the new M$ bullshit.

No regrets.

I assumed he was big on Macs for their own sake. It's a thing, for music geeks - and obviously he's a fan of iPods, specifically. Surprised to hear his objectively correct summary of Windows versions.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
