Linux is Linux. What sets distros apart are basically the config and pre-install defaults and the package manager…

The latter is Portage, developed for Gentoo and used (among others) by ChromeOS.

The problem is that the people lacking those technical skills are struggling with Windows, too, but got brain-washed into believing that this is how it’s supposed to be. And they are somehow also the ones defending Windows bullshit the loudest because else they would need to acknowledge being wrong.

File permissions…

allowed to execute=1, allowed to write=2, allowed to read=4

grouped by owner/group/everyone.

So one of your own files you have full access to while users in your usergroup are only allowed to read it and nobody else has any permissions would have: 740 (read+write+execute / read / none).

As much as I despise Windows while also using archlinux/i3-wm as my daily driver…

Tiling is no rocket science. Basically every stacking window manager including Windows can do it well enough to be usable with just a few properly configured defaults and short-keys.
