How do you do that on windows

Open explorer. Type string in the search box.

(Ok it's kind of a shitty search feature but that's besides the point.)

Most people just want Facebook and pornhub, Linux has everything you need.

Sure, but don't confuse covering 90% of what people do with covering 90% of people. It's like electric car range or browser website compatibility. It might have enough range for 99% of my journeys of work on 99% of websites but that final 1% matters! You can't just ignore it.

My bike is fine for 99% of trips. For the other 1% I can get a train

As long as you're going somewhere that has trains...

I mean you could say the same thing for ICE/EVs, neither are taking you somewhere that doesn't have roads.
