Also, increase your `$HISTSIZE` to more than you think you would need, there have been cases where it helped me find some obscure command I ran like 3 years before.
As someone who works mostly in WSL and has to use PS occasionally, it really reduces the overhead of the context switch.
How about the fact that you can't install applications without having a google account. Right from the get go, it isn't a serious OS.
Most mentions I see of `core.excludesFile` refer to it as a global, but it could also be a local file. I use it as a local file since for some projects I'm working on I end up having a set of scripts/logs/anything specific to the repository that I don't want to be in the `.gitignore`.
Also I'm pretty sure default Gnome and KDE include emojis in their "start" menu search, which is its own kind of annoying.
Those examples aren't killer apps because they could be ran in Windows/Linux through these compatibility layers. Linux's 'killer app', if it had one, would be things like better window management that doesn't get in your way, faster file I/O, being able to do more with your hardware.
