I'm a child of the 80th, born in 1966, so I never migrated from Windows to Linux. I do not come from Windows, as well as a lot of Linux users of my age or who are way older than I am.
My first machine with something Microsoft alike was an Atari ST with a 80286 hardware emulator, IOW a PCB containing a real 80286 CPU was soldered. Even this time I didn't use MS-DOS, but DR-DOS, because Microsoft failed to be reliable from the very beginning. Actually I'm not using Ubuntu from an Ubuntu desktop image. I usually start without a GUI, by e.g. an Ubuntu server install with disabling the install of several packages or I'm using a DVD or a Ventoy USB stick with a persistent live Ubuntu flavour such as Ubuntu Mate, Xubuntu etc., or NomadBSD. My daily used Linux on my desktop machine is Arch Linux with openbox and no WM at all. I can also boot into a customised *bunt with openbox (or jwm) and no WM at all. I'm running QEMU/KVM and VirtualBox for other operating systems, including Windows XP, 7 and 10, let alone that I help my neighbourhood with Windows issues. For photos, drawing, drawn and stop motion animation videos, as well as music productions I'm in favour of Apple. I have not the slightest idea what is easier when using the Windows GUI, than when using BSD, Linux (with openbox and command line, I usually do most things using command line, instead of e.g. a file browser and such helpers). I guess people get used to something and are unwilling tom learn something different, even if it should be easier to use, they fell it's harder to use, because they are used to something odd in the first place. Btw. half-truth are "bogus" and nothing else. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
