Comment on Anon uses Windows

Recently I installed Linux mint on my laptop, and then my main PC died so I replaced it with windows 11. I’ve had the unique experience of setting them both up from scratch alongside each other.

Windows 11 took longer to set up, but was 80% via GUI, and the 20% I did in PowerShell was mostly using winget with very few failures. I used ChatGPT for some planning and checklist and also used it to craft a PowerShell script that would silently install about 35 applications that I was too lazy to do manually by downloading the exe’s, but I could have gotten there without it.

Mint was 80% terminal, and I would not have been able to install half the things I wanted without the help of ChatGPT crafting baffling workarounds for me that I would not have found on my own.

In the end, both systems are 95% how I want them, with 5% unattainable due to their own unique issues.

I’ll continue to use both for now, and see how I go in a year or so.
