  • It’s quite common to login as admin on windows though (in home setups), you’ll still have to authenticate for administrative tasks (the UAC popups).

    The issue here is mostly that the user has probably upgraded and windows changed their account, resulting in the files being owned by their old account.

    In linux, that’s fixable with ‘sudo chmod -R’

    In Windows, there’s no built-in way, you need the take ownership script.

    it’s still comically bad compared to various alternatives, even apples-to-apples alternatives like C#.

    I’d be interested to hear why. IMO Java has the superior ecosystem, runtime(s!), and community. The best part is that you don’t even HAVE to use java to access all this - you can just use kotlin, groovy, scala,… instead.

    In terms of the language itself, while it (still) lacks some more modern language features, it has improved massively in that area as well, and they’re improving at a significant rate still. It also suffers from similar issues as PHP, where it has some old APIs that they don’t want to get rid of (yet?), but overall it’s a solid language.
