Does anyone else hate the Linux analogy?

Where are all of you getting that you need cmd for Linux? I haven't touched it since 2013 and even then Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora never required cmd. I'd occasionally play with sudo apt but it was never a thing I had to do. You can do similar things on Windows.

The analogy kind of makes sense. Linux is not worse than Windows, the main OS in the world. It is just different. Even then, no two distros are the same just like no two people experience Autism the same way. You also have distros which DO require cmd lines just like you have people experiencing Autism that requires significant help from another person. Still not lesser, just different.

And who mentioned BeOS? You're the first person I have ever encountered that knows of it . It was fantastic and I heard there is a project to revive it!

I've been a Linux user for the best part of a decade and have very little experience of post-XP Windows operating systems. It feels like I'm almost fated to be a Linux user; every time I come up against something that looks like I will have to turn to Windows, I always seem to find a way that allows me to stick with Linux or realise that whatever I wanted to do wasn't worth doing anyway.

It was not having the money for a Windows 7 system and needing to re-purpose old hardware that got me on Linux and then I just found that the Linux way of doing things just suits me better. Many people complain about not being able to run their Windows programs on Linux. I would have the opposite problem.

I suppose the Linux-Aspergers analogy fits in that they're both things I'm stuck with and can't do anything about. They both have their own strengths and handicaps and I just do what I can to make the best of it.

I feel no desire to be feminine. I never had, and I never will.
