From a professional perspective, this is a solid question. And yeah, between the basic tool suite (top/cd/ls -l/df -H/grep/pipe '|'/ssh) and some common sysadmin/engie knowledge, I could get by with Linux just fine. "Just fine" doesn't cut it for troubleshooting sludgepipes and Kubernetes though, and my skills with Powershell finally gave me the confidence boost to take CLI/TUI seriously on Linux.
And man, zero regrets. It's nice having an OS not fight me tooth and nail to do shit, even if it means letting me blow my feet off with some commands (which is why, to any junior readers out there, we always start with a snapshot when troubleshooting servers).
Now to finish my mono-compose for my homelab and get back to enjoying the fruits of my labor...
I know there are some brilliant engineers at Microsoft. There are some incredible engineering in some components.
I don’t know why Windows as a whole is such a piece of fractal shit.
