Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.
One thing I’ve been annoyed by for over a decade now is having to unmount USB drives before removing them or they’ll brick. That shit worked fine on windows unless you were writing/reading iirc.
Not really. Windows and assume Linux cache writes and might actually write after you thought it’s written, that’s why you have to always unmount USB drives before you pull them out.
Later versions of windows recognise that the device is removable and don’t cache writes. From the users point of view the copy dialog box only closes when writes are complete.
I guess that depends on the settings. I’d still click sa
vfe remove, though.https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/storage/do-you-really-need-to-eject-a-usb-drive/
Yeah, that’s really annoying with Linux filemanagers
Just tell me when you’re done and not when the file is completely written into cache, that doesn’t help me in any way
I love my Linux, but it’s really annoying to open a terminal to run sync, just to be sure
Windows does not cache writes for removable media
I always do that and it still happened, probably because I had a drive as NTFS for compatibility. Last I checked (after failed attempts), the fix was “fix it with Windows” so I still have a borked external drive.
