edit: also: modding games, mostly. plenty of tinkering around that needs a bunch of programs windows doesn’t like for various reasons. simple things like windows automatically inheriting permissions onto a drive that shouldn’t inherit any (and hasn’t actually inherited any at root level, so where the fuck did it get even get those from??), randomly changing access for nebulous reasons… there’s just sooo much nonsense to deal with under windows that i haven’t encountered even once under linux.
sure, I’ve had permissions issues, but at least those where my own fault! and fixing them was easy, transparent, and never reverted again for no reason.
i honestly no longer care to find out why windows was misbehaving (wasn’t malware, of that I’m sure. kept happening even on entirely new hardware), because I’ve just left that mess behind, and I’m never going back.
Yeah I’ll give you that for the life of me I don’t understand why exFAT drives seem to trip over permission issues and in such stupid ways. I don’t seem to have anywhere that same problem with ext4.
Like what is a person supposed to do with that? More partitions? While linux does have permission issues of its own I haven’t really run into a problem I can’t fix easily with one command line.
it’s a list, hence the comma separation.
this is standard grammar.

way, way better this way!

this is exactly it!
linux does have some issues, but it’s almost always a simple fix, and damn near never the OS’ fault.
so much better!
at least i only get mad at myself, which is much easier to deal with…
