With respect, you can screw up Windows by doing things in a non-standard way too. That’s not the fault of the OS.

You can fix what you did wrong in Linux. People are just less used to troubleshooting Linux problems than Windows problems because they’ve used Windows more, by and large

Are you literally here to proclaim that Windows is the better OS because Linux gives you the freedom to screw it up?

My brother in computing, that’s on you if you’re having problems with fixing problems you’ve caused in Linux. As a former professional system admin, I’ve run into issues with Windows that Microsoft’s own support team could not figure out and had to refund their fee. I have never, not once, had an issue in Linux that I couldn’t fix or find someone who knows how.

Hey, friend. Definitely not saying Windows is better.

That being said, in this example, a UI open dialog that will blindly consume any file fed into it with behavior bad enough to crush the entire computer into absolute uselessness is… let’s just say, not something one would want to run into on a bad day just trying to deal with life stuff.

Now, if one were piping /dev/urandom into the framebuffer expecting to load Firefox, that’s another matter.

It’s kinda hilarious that I was just about to say the inverse. Linux is yours too fix, and Windows is not.
