“Montana Banana!” also an acceptable exclamation
80ReplyNormal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life "hacking" with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.
74ReplyOne thing Linux needs to do is change the perception of how hard everything is compared to Windows. Some things are extremely less difficult on Linux.
59ReplyTo be fair, comparing terminal to the registry is not comparing apples to apples. The registry is more like a complicated config file full of barely documented options. Still miserable to work in, but that's beside the point.
The terminal equivalent to windows is Powershell which id say is much more favorable.
38ReplyThat's even more complicated than half the stuff normal users on Linux do
37ReplyWhat if I told you you can create and set a registry entry with a single line of powershell
31ReplyWait, this is actually a good tip lol
28ReplyI even have to tell stupid windows to interpret the bios clock as UTC.
26ReplyPay no attention to gconf, dconf, GSettings, or whatever else there is.

sudo apt install firefox

20ReplyVoidtools "Everything" is how we mimic a fraction of your power thank-you-very-much.
17ReplyFunny enough, the regedit of my work PC was already there with the value set (seems like I already did that a few weeks ago)...
Startmenu is still slower than my personal Linux machine.
17ReplyLiterally a KDE setting. In the GUI.
And nobody needs that, otherwise there would be a plasmoid.
14ReplyWtf windows search is so much snappier now!!!!
Thank you!
13ReplyThe other day I was trying to disable Ubuntu Pro stuff and the way to do it reminded me of Windows. Once I get my media backed up I'm switching to another distro, just not sure what one yet.
13ReplyI mean, fucking with the registry was always a thing in windows
13ReplyWhy are we even comparing the terminal with registry? What is registry mimicking from Linux?
12ReplyHa nerds Imagine using the terminal!
Wait. Wait. Nevermind

9ReplyYou think you're powerful? now try to enable bing results in Linux search
6ReplyI agree that this is bullshit and Linux is better. But as someone with a Windows work computer, this was a huge help.
6ReplyWhat about ChromeOS on this subject matter? (besides being liNuX, I intentionally wrote it that way)
3ReplyI was actually just looking for this the other day. I'll let you know if it actually works.
2ReplyReminds me of when I tried to install Firefox on Ubuntu and it said it couldn't open the download as there was nothing associated with it. Ended up with another copy without an icon but it worked. Then I moved to Fedora which seemed to work as intended. Couldn't run Mint on this laptop as it boots to a black screen - presumably the wrong GPU. Daily Driver is Windows 10 by necessity.

0ReplyUnlike us power users, many people like the web search.
Still the fact that this can be easily disabled with a single registry key is an advantage of Windows, not a detriment.
