In this particular case, Linux would have got the OP to a solution more
quickly than Windows. He had two photo editors popping up import
dialogs when he inserted a memory card. It turned out that fixing this
involved tracking down the settings inside each application that
control auto-importing. On Linux, it doesn't matter how many photo
editors I have installed. There is one place where I control
auto-importing from memory cards. The Linux mechanism for handling
this is easier and more intuitive.

So, you think that setting up his machine for Linux, learning all the
ins and outs of a particular 'flavor' of Linux, and then finding,
installing, and learning to use, all the comparable software, would be
faster for the OP than just locating the setting in one, or the other of
the programs and setting it to 'off'? Somehow I doubt that, very much.

Nope. You can read what I wrote. You do not have my permission to
put ridiculous words in my mouth.

If Linux works well for you, and you like it, great! However, it is not
the solution for most of us.

Actually, it is the way out for all of us. You may choose not to see,
if you must.

He asked how to stop his computer from responding to insertion of a card, or jumpdrive with pictures on it from calling a program to download pictures, and you said "Swith to Linux." Hardly a feasible solution. Rather like buying a 747 because you need to go to the corner grocery.
