If this comment was suggesting a Linux command to fix an issue on Reddit, rather than Windows aerobics on Lemmy, it'd have a thousand comments about how Linux is not ready for end users because nobody wants to browse obscure options to fix usability problems.
But we all know that Windows isn’t ready for end users…
They still didn't open a command line
True. They opened a dialogue box that uses a 2007 UI, changed one specific obscure policy, "enabled" the policy to "disable" the feature (how intuitive!) and are now praying it doesn't reset after a system update. All of that to be able to use search, a feature computers had mastered in 2002. Let's also hope Group Policy Editor is enabled on their version of Windows.
How user friendly! So lucky he didn't have to use a command line interface!
I'm not your enemy here, I'm using cachyOS right now, I'm just saying how the layman thinks, and they are deeply afraid of a black screen to type commands.
Win + r and running gpedit.exe is simply a terminal command with extra steps.
I thought gpedit was a command line?
someone please correct me, I'm kinda confused
