... Many things are easier in Linux than in Windows and there are the reverse cases of course too.
We all hang on to windows because that is our home and we got used to the myriad of programs that we know and make our life easier. But that does not mean that similar equivalent programs are not available in Linux. We are probably just too comfy in our current role.
Easier ? Depends on how you define
easier. I always got the impression, what the hey, it's free, so ...
I have the day off so I'll do a
Sheldon Cooper and install a Laynux Partition
.
I don't see how clinging to
setup.exe constitutes a comfy state.
That seems easier to me.
In fact, there is not a global alternative option for programs or drivers that are compatible with Linux.
Most software vendors are
not going to make their products compatible with Linux.
As for this end user, I peruse the massive list of FREE Linux applications included.
100% of them are unwanted. No Mozilla, Konqueror, Open Office, Crypto Imaging, XYZ Tools,
Gimp - what's that?
And for iconography, I am unimpressed with tiny untexted pictograms that are supposed to be identified.

Interesting. I think Apple fans would dispute
all.

ok. I am a fan of InstallShield.
Too comfy? So we should be less comfy? Unless the Laynux distro is embedded, as in a phone or tablet,
it's possible the only true imperative for its use is the FREE label.
Of course Linux fans will always cling to the IQ level needed as a badge of honor.
I like GParted.
