    well about networking: windows proxy settings just work transparently, while on linux it’s just a config option that applications may or may not respect (vpn still works perfectly, but not proxy)

      True, though I’m mostly invested in the kernel networking behaviors, rather than having a nicely standardized place for proxy settings so that applications have a logical place to go.

      It’s a fair criticism that in userspace, proxy settings have been not standardized and also TLS certificates are similarly a bit messy.
