It's different though. You see, when things suck in Windows, you have to use it, but when things suck on Linux, you get to use it!

I honestly do prefer the problem solving process on Linux. Solving problems on a Windows desktop is finding a tutorial with instructions to click (as the best case scenario), which may or may not be up to date. Clicking the right fields takes up a lot of attention, somehow. I find command line and text file stuff to be clearer a lot of time and you can build up some conceptual understanding over time, even if the tools could be better without legacy cruft. E.g. bash is not a fine programming language, Unix commands are needlessly cryptic ('cp' instead of 'copy' and 'mv' instead of 'move' or 'rename' kinda suck. But learning basic command line usage made me way more efficient and it was also fun.
