Yes, I remember that post, I enjoyed the dedication to interfacing with windows as if it were a normal, sensible OS, well done good post
I did like that too. I like "dealing with Windows, from the perspective of a Linux terminal junkie who Knows Their Shit" type posts and articles an unreasonable amount. I really like the perspective shift and the pointing out that Windows is not the sensible and well designed OS in these comparisons.
So many of the problems I see people having in those "I tried switching to Linux" posts stem from not using the (graphical, built in) package manager and wandering around the web downloading loose executables.
And it's because the one time windows tried to include a graphical package manager, it was actually more of a move to cut valve out, but it was so poorly executed it indirectly gave us Proton.
