It's one of the things that made me prefer using Linux a long long time ago. It's nice to be able to rename, move, and delete files while they are used.

Reason 3756 why Windows is slopware

Mac does the same thing (as others have said) and you can at least sudo lsof and find it, but somehow filesystem access now is worse than Windows 95 era Excel spreadsheet file handles that never worked.

Here's what an operating system is peeps: Something that handles files and programs that live on top of it. That's it.

How is it none of them can't do their basic function anymore?

Same on Mac except it’s an external drive that some mystery program is using.
