Why is changing the keyboard layout so complicated in Windows compared to GNU + Linux and other normal OSes?

        This is a Linux community. Not sure what you imagine most people here think of windows…

          you are the reason people hate Linux users, you cant just let people do what they want, always has to be some competition and “windows sucks”.

          just be normal, windows has its place whether it’s for you or not.

            Yeah it has its place. Just not in a Linux community. Is that hard to understand?

          If you think this is normal then imagine what other people think of the linux community though!

          But here’s the issue: the parent comment didn’t even provide reasons why they think Windows sucks or examples/episodes where this was a problem for them. It adds nothing to the discussion, just free hate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
