Me, 12 y/o all life Windows person, decided to try Linux. Installed Mandriva. WTF is this?! Where is c:\ ?! What is this thing with forward slashes everywhere? … and a couple of years later as a more knowledgeable user, still used to Windows tho - how do I make the terminal case insensitive? And I really meant it back then lol (fortunately, forums quickly explained to me that that's not the way; now I hate Windows for being case insensitive)
Updating both OS and ALL applications with a click, when you want not when Microsoft decides, was a welcome change from Windows - - with multiple applications updates and Windows insisting on updates at the most inconvenient times.
This never gets old and it can happen without using a single repository.
Not exactly a specific moment. I just generally really appreciate doing every day tasks from the command line: manage vps, run websites, check email, etc. So fast, ad-free, dead simple.
