    Ew. They should expand their skill set to using terminal/powershell.

    I’m not knocking on GUIs but I will call out “IT professionals” who ONLY know how to use GUIs.

      To be fair powershell is more recent and windows has always used the control panel for most configuration, they are kind of rug pulling everyone who learned to use it and there arent clear terminal alternatives, for instance, how do I calibrate a game controller’s axis with the terminal?

        Hot take, not everything should be powershell or cli. Control panel is pretty straightforward and even I use it from time to time. Because trying to find stuff in Settings is a nightmare.

      The whole point of windows is the gui… otherwise i’d just stick with Debian.

      Any time on Linux, but the windows shells are unusable. And configuration databases are much more convoluted things on windows than text files
