Well, it's under a permissive license, so there is little he can do legally, except maybe sue them for not mentioning the original project, which I'm sure they will add and that will be that eventually.

And you never dug any further to see WHY you're being denied access or WHY that file is not found.
Simple example, some distros will block regular user access to /root. That doesn't mean that you can't access those files, it just means that YOUR user can't see them WHILE you're logged in with that user... which is why bash file/dir completion will not work if you cd to /root/path/to/dir. Log in as root in the terminal and it works just fine. Some even might out right not see the files if you're logged in as a user, instead of root, regardless if that user in the sudoers file or not (you type in the exact path to a dir/file in the terminal and it won't open/cd to it). In those cases, even sudo won't work for some things, you just HAVE TO work with root.
To be honest, this is very rare and has happened to me like once or twice (on some distros). In most situations/distros, sudo will work just fine.
Though, yes, I do recommend LTSC as well (high seas and all that, since they cost a small fortune) vs. a Pro license. It's basically what Windows users were used to, a Windows install that's stuck in time, no new features, only security updates.
Oh, and no store and all that app crap, the only app installed is the settings app and there is no way to install any other store app (well, there is, but it's complicated and I would do it only of there is absolutely no other way).
Use LTSC and this and never worry about Windows deleting shit in Home or updates breaking something, do it ONLY when YOU want to update.
But... it is a place to hide things 🤨.
I won't argue about leftovers when uninstallig, some package managers do that as well, plus it's not really the registry's fault, that's just bad or badly configured installers/uninstallers.
They have app specific "hacks" in place for old popular software. Like Winamp and the ones you mentioned.
Win98 sucks balls big time though. It's just DOS with a UI, unstable AF.
There is if one of them doesn't do the job properly.
It's still advisable to turn it on... it's Windows after all... on Linux, yes, I don't use a firewall as well.
It’s like 3 clicks to disable automatic upgrades/reboots in Windows.
Do share how to disable updates in 3 clicks... cuz it USED to be that easy... not any more.
That is true.
But, due to the nature of how it works, it can be also used to hide data that the user "should not be aware of".
I actually thought PS was gonna be better than cmd... turns out consistency is a lot better in cmd... can't make heads or tails in PS. I still use cmd to invoke stuff in PS, but only if there is no other way.
