      Is it that hard to compile from source on Windows? I’ve been on Linux for 20 years, so I genuinely don’t know.

        No idea. Haven’t used Windows for anything other than games for around 20 years either. How hard it is isn’t really the point, though.

        I don’t think compiling from source is easy even on Linux. Whenever I try it whatever program I’m trying to compile just refuses to compile, even though I seem to have all of the necessary programs for it. I can’t recall successfully compiling anything other than suckless tools, which have basically no dependencies.

          I don’t know. The only time I’ve had significant issues was with Arch. Debian has always been good to me inbthat regard.
