On Linux, they are all text files. Not only can you understand their

One issue, however, is that an application can search a number of paths to

This gets into why people would put up with M$ Winblows, the
consistency of results, but they don't even realize that Windows has
tricked-out shit, too, they don't know what PowerShell is.  People
with awareness of the software would likely choose Linux, at this
point, because Microsoft has simply gone to the Nth degree, it's
beyond bloated, I have a decent system but it benefits greatly from
not running M$.

Powershell isn't very good IMO, the syntax is completely different from
almost any other kind of terminal and the blue/yellow feels off to me.
