Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

Always had windows. Never wanted Linux because I didn’t want to dick around with every game install. You give me an OS that lets me browse and game WITHOUT having to dick around with every application, and I’d switch in a heartbeat.

It's actually gotten a lot better over the last few years; Valve has been putting in a lot of work into making gaming "just work" through Steam. It's still a bit jank, but honestly all OSes are a bit jank.

If anyone in this thread is interested, I'd recommend giving Linux Mint a go. There's nothing really to lose.

Anyway, I'm done shilling Linux so I'll let you get back to your Simpsoning. :P

There’s nothing really to lose.

Just hours of your time as some random miniscule feature you were reliant upon without realizing it until it was missing, then have to look up a dozen different fixes using some stone aged console commands, none of which actually fix your issue...

That is pretty much my experience when I have to use a windows machine at work. Sorry, the powershell command is how long? Just got this from ChatGPT, no idea if it works and I am not booting windows to test it.

Bash: grep -iRl "test"

Powershell: Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern "test" -CaseSensitive:$false | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path -Unique

Which is why people use the GUI for pretty much everything. Linux demands you use archaic commands to do anything useful.
