(although my ~15 years as a windows sysadmin probably bias my opinion)

So basically: it’s not any harder in linux, but you have more than a decade of muscle memory in windows, so it’s harder for you.

That’s like saying “Japanese is a less efficient language than English, all of the words are different, and when I want to say a word, I have to learn it first, but in English I just know the words! English is so much better! (My 30 years speaking english probably bias my opinion)”

Things are certainly different, but its hard to compare which is “harder” for the advanced use cases.

There’s no shame in having long term experience with one platform and having that shape your expectation about how a solution should look.
