I have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to coding or command lines.

Windows is like a early 80's Honda Civic - basic, relatively reliable, not exciting, and waaaaay to complicated under the hood.


Hahaha..I like that analogy! It has a minor problem, you open the hood, see an enormous array of 20+ year old dry-rotted hoses and wires surrounding an old carburetor and think "It's a miracle this thing works AT ALL...I better just quit while I'm still ahead."

I'd say Linux is more like an 80s-90s German car.. Reliable, sophisticated, powerful, a little quirky, focused on the task at hand, made for enthusiasts, and beautifully engineered. But if something does go wrong, you better be very knowledgeable, or prepared to pay through the nose for somebody who is.
