It is against the rules but but what is it exactly?

That you can “do everything that windows does”. You can’t. You can do similar things, you can do different things, you can do basic things, yes, but Linux can’t do everything that windows does.
disclaimer: on linux since 2006
Could you give an example of something linux can’t do?
Or are you alluding to windows software not running on linux even with wine etc?
Linux can’t prevent you from permanently removing files. While in Windows it’s a chore to remove a number of files/bloat, which are then most often back after a system update.

Some see this as a feature.
It’s 100% a feature! Truly a horrendous approach to lock down a device someone purchased to the extent seen on Windows.
Remember when Bill Gates said that open source software was fascist?
*communist
But honesty they are the same in many respects
How are communism and fascism the same? What definitions are you using?
AFAIK communism advocates for a stateless, classless, moneyless society, while fascism advocates for imperial nationalism and the violent class hierarchies of capitalism, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc.
They seem much more like opposites under the standard definitions. I don’t understand doublespeak.
as a Russian who has studied the history of the USSR, i can say that Stalin’s regime might seem like a kind of fascism now, but by no means am I saying that Stalin’s communism was anything like Marx’s or Lenin’s.
When things get extreme they get similar. (Strong authoritarian government)

‘Extreme’ is a vague word, but when you’re talking about communism and fascism (or more generally ‘far-left’ and ‘far-right’ ideology), that’s a false generalization known as ‘horseshoe theory’.
There are many clear counter-examples when talking about communism, like the entire school of anacho-communist ideologies and the existing societies stemming from them (including the Zapatista territory in Mexico with a population of around 360,000, or the FEJUVE federation in Bolivia, or the many anarchist communes around the world).
As for the more authoritarian versions (Stalinist, Maoist and related ideologies), despite their strong one-party systems, they are still extremely different to fascist ideologies in their goals and how they use their strong state to achieve them. To say ‘they are the same in many respects’ would apply just as equally to liberal capitalist states like the USA and allies, with their infamously militarized police, constant wars and imperial militarism, strong cult of nationalism (for the US, it’s centered on the Founding Fathers), mass imprisonment and state interference in bodily autonomy.
