Not really, it’s a pretty simple command that not everyone uses anyway. -s is for shutdown, -t for time. There are more complicated things in the Windows command line interface.

Nope, I use it all the time if I’m going home from work. Works like a charm.

Windows + r, shutdown -s -t 0, enter

I barely have to use the commandline, that’s more for power users. And that’s on Arch (after configuring everything the way I want). On distros like Mint it’s not even necessary after a fresh install. I used to help people with their pc, and to my surprise I came across Linux Mint multiple times, at older people no less.

That’s because it is a perfectly viable consumer os. At least the distros are, Linux is just the kernel. What makes a distro an industrial os? I wouldn’t use Arch for industrial purposes. So no, I won’t accept that I use an industrial os, because it isn’t.

Laser printers don’t burn the paper. They require toners. So it wasn’t a joke unless they also didn’t know how a laser printer works.

They get paid twice anyway, if you buy cartridges from HP. This is just a subscription for those cartridges.
