Sorry if this is not the right community to ask this, but I just wondered this today.

Users often think of Linux as being more complicated to use than something like Windows or macOS, but I’m sure there are plenty of things made easier in Linux than the other two more common consumer OSes.

What are some that come to mind for you?

    • Git
    • (Less so now that it’s preinstalled in Windows) OpenSSH
    • Using the file manager (dual pane support in dolphin, most have tabs built-in, renaming files in dolphin with large directories doesn’t jump the view position around)
    • tabbing out of exclusive fullscreen applications
    • installing and updating most applications
    • installing the OS
    • using AMD, Intel Graphics (somewhat less awful if drivers actually autoinstall in Windows)
    • Not getting screen tearing in games
