    linux users when the windows sudo replica still values user security and uses uac and doesn’t just let you make changes to core system files because you happened to know a four letter command 👿👿👿👿

      Linux and Unices assume you know what you’re doing

      Windows assumes that the user has the mental prowess and knowledge of a 5 year old

      Both can result in disaster, in glorious ways

        hate this take. can we stop calling normal, non-techie people idiots?

        it’s like saying the safety on a gun was designed for babies and makes the FOSS community look toxic as fuck.

          The first sentence is right, but not because of intelligence (agreed toxic).

          The money that goes into Linux is for corporate use by administrators. Very little money makes end user facing tools. I think given that fact the Linux desktop is an amazing result of the work of a lot of volunteers.

          the results of a gun mishap is quite different from a personal computer mishap…

      UAC is no different from having a sudo password. They both have security measures. Sudo actually has fairly granular permissions if you can be bothered to set them up.

      Windows still allows you to modify system files it’s just more difficult. If you want a Linux system that doesn’t let you do that those exist too, they are called immutable linux distros.

        Windows does contain DRM protected files that it will not allow you to touch. Some games on the Microsoft Store for example.

        Not to counter your point, just that I find it insane.
