As someone (a different guy than whom you’re replying to) who has primarily used Linux-based systems in personal settings for about 15 years or so, I can and will say that.
For the most part, Linux-based systems tend to do exactly what you tell them to do. Whether or not this is exactly what you want, however, is a slightly different point.
If you know exactly what you want and how to do it.
I spent countless hours trying to make my display driver working in Linux years ago. I knew what I wanted, but it was impossible. For me at least. I know many who has similar experiences.
No op just said Linux does exactly what you want. My point is that it sometimes is very hard to know how to do what you want. I am not saying Windows is any better in this regard though.
Oh, okay then. Your previous comment could be taken both ways: “I’m a system administrator (i.e. root)” and “I’m a system administrator (i.e. someone knowing their shit)”
Linux does exactly what you tell it to. If all your experience is with systems designed by engineers trying to guess what you really want, that can be confusing and intimidating.
but linux does exactly what you want , ive never been pulled a number like this.
Lol. That’s such a silly biased thing to say.
how? it’s to delete a file in other driver, it don’t get in your way
File system ACLs.
but its true? theres lots that you cant say against linux but you cant say it doesnt do exactly what you want.
Nearly 30 years of LINUX experience. I can definitely say on a regular basis that LINUX doesn’t do exactly what I want.
not my experience ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I want it to play rocket league. Without using wine or proton.
There are some things that Linux won’t allow you to do natively. I understand it’s better because it’s open, but come on.
Linux does exactly what you tell it to, not exactly what you want. There’s a big difference.
Not really.

where are talking about files, not drivers from others companies that depend on their support

I don’t use Linux but I assume you’re the kind of person typing sudo before every command ^^
I’m in this comment and I’m conflicted on how to feel about it.
im a system administrator by trade so i actually DON’T do that XD
So you’re just using the root account 24/7?
no of course not, i use sudo when strictly needed
