It really just comes down to a different paradigm. I agree that I prefer how Windows handles a lot of things and gives you a lot built-in these days, especially once you add PowerToys

This comes down a lot to your personal expectations. As someone who grew up on both Mac and Windows equally, I find its Windows that tends to lack really basic stuff that I take for granted in my day-to-day Mac usage.

For a Little Snitch alternative on Linux have you tried OpenSnitch? https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch
