You know shits bad when even I'M advocating to switch to linux. I don't even understand linux!

I would happily switch to an OS that is linux under the hood, but visually can operate like Windows XP.

WHERE TERMINAL ISN'T EVEN INSTALLED BY DEFAULT!

Windows comes with two terminals.

There are 4 different copy commands by default within PowerShell I can think of: copy, xcopy, robocopy, and copy-item. Robocopy is still better at many scripted tasks, even though it is from CMD.

And powershell comes with multiple different versions that can be installed side by side, and have overlapping functionality.
Meaning, there are things you can only do in Powershell v1.x and other things you can only do in v7.x .
Also, the syntax and available commands are different.

Honestly, Debian KDE is pretty close. And there are even distros that mimic the look of WinXP if you want.

I ran Fedora Kinoite without a terminal installed for quite a while.
It's literally designed to make the terminal useless.
