I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.

    There isn’t a hardware panel nor a proper task manager nor a GUI registery editor.

      There is no registry in Linux so there can’t be a registry editor.

      Hardware panels and task managers do exist (and they come in more windows-like distros), they’re just different to Windows ones. I do concede that hardware management in Windows is much easier.

      Task manager for Windows absolutely blows though. It doesn’t show real data, just estimates that sometimes are wildly wrong.

          In a hand wavy way, yes. You are just editing the settings of one suite of software, not really an OS “registry”. Closest to that in Linux is editing /etc, but even then, not all software is configured there.

        Not for long if Lennart has anything to say about it, I’m sure.

      I disagree on the task manager. I like the KDE Plasma monitor application for instance. Very convenient way to sigterm or sigkill.
