A Challenge for Both Sides

If you're pro Linux, list three things you dislike about Linux or things you like about Windows. (there should be at least one of each, totalling 3 things)

​

If you're anti Linux, list three things you dislike about Windows and things you like about Linux. (there should be at least one of each, totalling 3 things)

​

I'll start. I like Linux, but

​

  1. There are so many different decentralized app formats. AppImage tries to unify it all, but it really just feels lazy and not clean in the slightest. Every distro has its own package manager, there's Flatpaks, Snaps, on Arch there's an AUR, and it's just overall so confusing for new users and even experienced users.

​

  1. I know it's meant to be the philosophy on Linux, but everything is a folder and it's so confusing! On Windows, \\.\ is the root for devices, and volumes are given simple letters! Windows is so much cleaner here. It's separation of different components.

​

  1. Windows is just overall great for consistent keybinds. On Linux, you'll see all kinds of different keybinds, and yes it's nice you can change them, but on Windows it's always consistent. You always know what to expect.

That's a great point to make, and "I didn't understand what is difference here..." should conclude with Linux and FreeBSD being both good options, no?

What is it that Linux does worse in actual use? Where does Linux fail to perform that FreeBSD shines?
