Of all the reasons to be like "Windows bad, Linux good!" This one doesn't really hit.

You don't love heading to the terminal to add the executable flag and run it?
I right click in nautilus to open the properties window and check the checkbox :)
Honestly: Yes. It's an example that perfectly encapsulates how windows "as a concept" actively babies and dumbs down its users. I the 00's, nobody had a problem with file extensions, but now that we're working with users that have grown up with computers we suddenly need to remove them because they're "too confusing"?
