Switching to Linux, you do have to "learn something new", which frustrated a lot of my customers to no end. Linux usually has alternate ways around those popular Windows only packages. Usually.
The common retort "you have to learn a new way of doing things" if you leave Windows to use Linux gets me. Windows constantly makes people have to learn a new way of doing things, and people pay for that with time and effort, and real money.
Ya, no fooling. As soon as M$ gets their OS fairly stable (well for M$), they start over. It is like someone broke into your house and re arranged all your furniture. I have a Fedroa server at a customer site that is maybe ten or fifteen years old. I have never upgraded it because one of their mission critical pieces of software is such a house of cards, I do not dare change anything. I can not tell the difference unless I ask the operating system what it is. It is pretty easy at a glance with Windows. Open Shell get you around a lot of the M$ menu nonsense. So here is the thing, when I set up a new computer -- be it Windows or Linux -- I create desktop and task bar icons of the programs the user wants to run. The user never goes into the menus. And they are happy. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
