Normal people don't know what the registry is since they never interacted with it, normal people have issues in Linux that makes them interact with code.

Normal people have admin rights because it's their machine, and don't know what they are doing. Giving normal people the expectations of a fraction what us professionals know to do is very unfair.

It’s not Linux specific, but it’s Linux dominant.

I cannot remember the last time I ever had to use some command line option off the internet for windows. Or some regedit.

But that’s ok. Whatever code for Linux one picks will either: not be for your version or distro. Missing repository. Deprecated. Won’t config. Won’t make. Need complex permissions setup. Necessitate recompiling the kernel or something. Just not work for whatever reason.

Linux users refuse to admit (or gatekeep) the fact that there’s a huge knowledge gap and learning curve that has to e surmounted to make Linux usable for professionals, yet people are quick to say “just switch to Linux” when even the easiest mainstream builds fall short of windows functionality.
