Trying to add some sentence structure
  • Hi sorry for the 27day delay, i dont know any type of document like that, but i've been using both for 10 years now, im by no means a poweruser at windows, maybe in linux, the best advice i can give you is, the flow is the same,the programms you use in linux, usually dont have a UI(it depends how deep your going, if your trying to change icon border color its a config file somewhere, no UI at all), linux power users are more of programmers then powerusers, because usually the tools to do X arent default on the operating system and you need to spend some time searching github for the right tools and troubleshooting them for your specific purpose(especially if you want an UI) or creating them yourself, its more of a "heres an axe build your house" rather then a "Here are all the pieces for a house, assemble them yourself" if that makes any sense to you.

The programs you use in linux, usually don't have a UI (it depends how deep you are going, if your trying to change icon border color its a config file somewhere, no UI at all). Linux power users are more of like programmers then powerusers, because usually the tools to do X aren't default on the operating system and you need to spend some time searching github for the right tools and troubleshooting them for your specific purpose (especially if you want an UI) or creating them yourself. It is more of a "Here is an axe, build your house" rather then a "Here are all the pieces for an house, assemble them yourself" if that makes any sense to you.
