This is why people use Windows

Please fucking explain why this is a problem. I have a folder with movies on an external HDD. I want to move them to a different subfolder. The first twenty worked fine without any issues - as expected. Then I get this error, and it doesn't tell me why in a human language that can be understood by humans.

So, I'll go ahead and ask here. Do any of you have any idea wtf this is? I'm on Fedora 38.

EDIT: Wait, it has actually moved some of the folders and files that it tells me it can't move. So now it's basically copied the files....??

EDIT 2: Not to be a dick, but I think I'll boot into Win 11 and see if it handles it any better. BRB!

EDIT: 3: LOL, Windows moved the shit without any questions. Now you know what I meant with the TITLE.

EDIT 4: And as expected, the community did not like that their God OS failed at such a simple task. As a Linux (Debian) user for 16 years, and a current Fedora user, this is proper cringe - but also expected.

EDIT 5: I'm so sorry for the actual adults around here who try to help, but it looks like Reddit has indeed arrived.

EDIT 6: Lemmy in a nutshell? Actually a bigger echo chamber than Reddit? How ironic.

EDIT 7: This is my blog now

EDIT 8: So I had a sandwich, it was pretty good, but need more salt

EDIT 9: Pretty sure I just invented a new type of Twitter

EDIT 10: Got a cease and desist from Musk, he must feel threatened by all the hate in here. He offered to buy it.

EDIT 11: The Net (1995) A computer programmer stumbles upon a conspiracy, putting her life and the lives of those around her in great danger.

EDIT 12: Whoever owns "Edit.com", reach out to me. I think I've got something

EDIT 13: "Most Hated Person on C/Linux Right Now AMA"

EDIT 14: This thread is now sponsored by Nestlé.

EDIT 15: Angy! ME SO ANGY!

EDIT 16: I use Arch, btw

People use Windows because it comes preinstalled when they buy their computers.

Not always.

Agree, but I feel the majority of Windows users would have just adapted to whatever came installed. But what do I know…

Sure, but that definitely ignores everyone who builds their own gaming systems starting with an empty hard drive.

Ok, I actually forgot that many games only run properly on Windows. Maybe my claim was too simplistic.

And things like Adobe Suite, etc, for people required to use that for work, who cannot use a FOSS alternative.

IT'S THE YEAR OF LINUX! Let me boot up Photoshop. No, wait 😂

Awww, did I hurt your little teeny tiny brain? Btw, this comment is not open-source, so FUCK OFF. Heil Google.
