One of windows users biggest complains about Linux is that you might need to use the terminal all the time. while that is true depending on what type of user you are. if you are an only browser user you will not need the terminal 99% of the time. if you are a gamer that only uses steam you will also not need the terminal 99% of time. but i think it is stupid that there are settings available on windows only accessible via the Registry Editor. where you will need to change certain Binary or a Hexadecimal values to configure it. when i was using windows 11, i needed to get my task bar to the left of the screen to make things easier with extra monitors. I knew windows 10 had a settings option for that but in windows 11 i had to use the Registry Editor. And just recently on my window 10 VM. I had to do disable all automatic updates via Registry Editor. wondering if there are situations where you had to configure something on Linux not accessible in the terminal via anything similar to the Registry.
