An now on a toilet break after trying to fix a permission problem with a local network NAS. I am so fed up with all the (u)mounting, users/groups, chmod/chown and so on, as I am now 3 hours in to it.
Yes, on windows its a trial and error with two ir three checkboxes, done in a few minutes or half an hour. The terminal-knowledge mentionned is definitely a big thing, even with modern distros like Linux Mint I am using right now

My experience was that I was done in a free minutes or half an hour, but, crucially, the problem wasn’t fixed. I had very meager options, and I’d exhausted all of them. In a Linux system, it might take longer, but at least I have the confidence that it can be fixed.
Local Network NAS is not something that the typical user that just scrolls memes on a browser and occasionally edits a document has to face. Setting that up on a Windows machine is just as convoluted on the permission side, but instead of writing neat commands, you have to hunt for buttons on nested upon nested settings dialogs that make no sense and don’t follow any logical structure anymore.
Maybe, havent had the same project on windows.
What I had was the need to connect a second monitor/projector, which I can say from experience, was NOT easily done on Linux (I had to mess with stretched monitor, the duplicating didnt work and so on)
