Why is windows so complicated and difficult to use?

why do we always have threads like this? People on Sup Forums are generally more bored than the people on any other board, aren't they?
don't you have anything better to do than repost the same pasta bait every few hours?

Installing software on Linux is just so much easier desu.

do you install 30 programs a day or something?
I meant for normies, but you do have a point.
>Installing software on Linux is just so much easier desu
with the exception of security, development, and server applications there isnt much worthwhile software out there and WINE sucks.
I commit to the repo where the packages are!
Muh dick.

Not really, why?
It shouldn't be that hard though. I mean, it's nothing short of saying "computer, install programname". Fuck it, apt and dnf even install missing dependencies, and resolves conflict. And if it's anything *buntu
> security
I can;t say I've actually installed any security applications on Linux, so I wouldn't be able to comment on this. Mind elaborating?
> development
I disagree. I do most of my development on Linux, and it's far easier. Last project that I worked on was nodeJS on Window, and setting up mongodb isn't that pleasant on Windows.
C and C++ development on Linux is pretty comfy, as is python, and anything web development. (Granted, Visual Studio is bretty gud)
Then there are built in tools like SSH, CURL, etc. (Which Windows does get sooner or later (in the form of Ubuntu, but I'm not complaining))
> server applications
Elaborate, I've only done web servers, and it's much comfier and easier to set up on Linux than it is Windows.

It's fucking incredible that downloading a simple program is so fucking hard in 2016. windows really is a cuck OS.
>it shouldn't be that hard
The very concept of controlling your pc without a gui is very leet and hacker to normies, they don't know how simple it really is and it scares them.
Good thing my mom has never had to use cli.

She just browses the web, listens to music, and types up her letters in libre writer.

Forgot to mention she runs Ubuntu mate on an old c2d laptop.
>Not really, why?
if its not a repetitive task which you perform several times a day then who cares if its a few clicks more work?
>I've actually installed any security applications on Linux
more specifically im talking about applications for monitoring networks and sniffing packets and stuff
as mentioned before, sever and dev stuff some of the few things that linux is actually good for. there are a lot of open source things that try to be as good as paid for stuff but they usually have a lot of kinks.
>if its not a repetitive task which you perform several times a day then who cares if its a few clicks more work?
That doesn't really matter though. Just because I don't do it every day doesn't mean it's not annoying when I do it.
> more specifically im talking about applications for monitoring networks and sniffing packets and stuff
Aren't there tonnes of variations of "top" that does that?
those 3 types of applications i mentioned were a few of the strong points of nix.
as for the repo install thing it could be superior to windows but the nature of an OS with a zillion distros is that it can be hit or miss on weather it will work correctly the first time.
Usually I open up the .exe and manually install the program I need, guaranteed no malware and bullshit.
Sure you do

and it's a release from 2 years ago

more likely you only get source code you have to compile

Are you 93 years old?
Sure because in the far away time of win XP researching via the address bar was TOTALLY a thing...

Not saying that windows is all that great with its retarded DLL system that everybody ignores by shipping their own versions, but Linux has a ton of problems on its own.

Only outdated program I've encountered was when I accidentally installed opera 12.16 instead of 37
