    I prefer Windows because I don’t need all the extra customization and in depth features, and I don’t want to bother setting them up. Like sure I could use commands to queue up file transfers, but I would never have the need and could get 99% of the way there with a drag and drop…

      It’s fine until you have to move more than a handful of files and discover it takes the better part of a day and slows your machine to a crawl.

      File management under windows is really something else. Apparently there are third party tools that somewhat mitigate this.

        Can’t say I’ve ever had that problem myself. Then again I never move more then, say, 20-30 GB at once.

        yeah I’m forced to do such inside a Microsoft eco-system at work, and Beyond Compare was surpsingly helpful at such.

        Had to copy a couple of TB to a new drive the other day.

        Just selected all, and dragged them over. Then I just walked away, because even during those rare situations, it doesn’t matter how long it takes.

        Only took an hour though, and Windows was still working flawlessly in the meantime. Running on +8 year old hardware even.

        You sure you used Windows in the last 20 years?
