I can't deny how good that advert was and still is. Very well done, very simple.

Unixes have good ideas. Everything is a file. Ad hoc Composition of processes using pipes.

Windows is focused on the wrong founding abstraction. Not everything is a file. Pipes exist in PowerShell but the engineer who made PowerShell nearly got fired for making PowerShell. Microsoft organization is run by pajeets, and pajeets are bad at abstractions infrastructure, safety etc. They can adopt a prescribed infrastructure like railways or AWS but they cannot prescribe a new one.

Microsoft has destroyed the PC, it is no longer 'personal'. Linux is the only user-centric OS left. Run the Win11 EULA through AI and see what it finds.

unix has some serious issues (cf unix haters handbook) but the reality is the lack of rigor has its uses
yes it's fucking embarrassing that ps | grep is the only standard way to get any information out of the system but at the same time you can easily write shell scripts that work in 95% of cases
windows has a standard that doesn't break down if your process names include spaces, but nobody writes the scripts. i know they've tried to improve this with powerscript.

as for my use of unix it's because i've been using it for 20 years more than anything else. i also believe i should know and be able to predict what my computer does, and windows does not offer me that. none of the niche oses seem capable of daily use. mac os does not offer me that anymore although it did in 2002 >>108529394
even "modern" linux is making it difficult
