Ha, I'm the other way - you're an 'apt search blah' then 'sudo apt install foo' away from just about any type of software.

Chocolatey has helped bring that closer for me on Windows.

I guess it's probably what ones familiar with/used to.

Linux has been my main OS on at least one of my devices for as long as I can remember. I still think there's a stark difference in what applications are capable of. It feels like most Linux applications try to make GUIs as simple as possible, while shunting all possible advanced features into the command line. For example, there's not a single file browser that in any way compares to Directory Opus, which is my replacement file explorer on Windows.
