GrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible. Not sure how affordable longer firmware support from Qualcomm is.

With Windows you simply have much less problems to solve. Normal people don’t care about jumping through hoops to create local accounts, they’ll just register.

Windows interfaces are designed for easy learning and are backed by real telemetry data from millions of systems, such as ribbon menus. On Linux power users run the show so even blatant violations of basic principles tend to stick since the development version is the shipped version and is what they are used to so UI stability took priority even though it shouldn’t been stabilised in the first place.

Depends on how advanced or niche the use case is. Flatpak and immutable distros covered the most common use for command line, that being package manager.

But Linux will start requiring command line earlier than Windows, random small utilities you’ll find on the internet tend to be command line only on Linux, whilst Windows equivalent usually provides a basic menu.

Fedora is probably the most balanced, being a semi rolling distro.

Kinda curious why would X11 have that many clipboards to begin with. Different people implemented their personal macros perhaps…?
