    I miss Everything from Windows.

    It’s a file search tool from voidtools, which has instant as-you-type results. It is never out of date because it tracks filesystem events. FSearch simply does not compare.

    The only thing I miss is paint.net.

    • Newer versions don’t run in WINE.
    • Pinta, a fork of paint.net, is old and is missing many features of modern paint.net.
    • Some alternatives, like Krita, are more for drawing, whereas I use paint.net for image editing.
    • GIMP lacks a shape tool.

    Nothing at all from Windows 11. Windows 10 had good paint and notepad versions. Nice and quick and handy. I use Leafpad and Drawing on Linux, but they aren’t quite the same as the OG paint.exe and notepad.exe 😆

      I quit using notepad.exe when Win 2000 came out. So many better options were available at that time. No idea why someone would like it and still want to use at this day and age… 🤣

    I mostly miss old Windows for nostalgia reasons. I’ve been macOS and now Linux for many years now.

    Proper power management on my laptop is the biggest one.

    There are many software applications that don’t support Linux that I would like to use.

    Just having easy access to everything on the internet tbh. From games to apps, everything on windows is compatible. Hopefully that continues to change in favor of Linux.

    nop. my overall desktop experience has improved substantially after I carved out my own niche of ‘creature comforts’.

    feels lovely to have a system that works for you, rather than something that’s so adversarial.

    The ability to upgrade my cameras’ firmwares, as it requires specialized Win/Mac utilities. Other than that, nothing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
