Switching from X to Y while expecting Y to work like X requires some configuration however not that much these days. It used to be impossible.

I am a linux and ios user and in 2019, "the world is my oyster". I can effortlessly work on terminals and servers of any contemporary OS. Damm, I can even linux apps on one of our intern dedicated chromebooks if I were to forget my laptop home cough.

I feel a bit sorry for windows and macos users. It seems their ways were a bit too opiniated / proprietary to be embraced at large.
