Since I didn’t pay him, I’m not invested enough to read it.

Installation process seems to be way more complicated than the one I did for Mint in my mum’s computer some time ago. Hard to compare, though; sometimes hardware clicks well with a system but not another.

Dolphin and Nautilus handle compressed files entirely transparently and much faster than Explorer does

Even Thunar does it, through the archive plugin. Thunar. From Xfce, a desktop environment known for avoiding fluff by design. Caja too, even if it’s based on the GNOME 2 version of Nautilus.

Office, email: I guess installing LibreOffice and Thunderbird would be against the spirit of the challenge, right?

Managing applications is also not as nice and effortless as it is on Linux

I’m so bloody glad for package managers.

Windows 11 also has a combined emoji/symbol picker now (Super + .),

Somewhat unrelated question: does anyone know if .XCompose works with Wayland? And if it doesn’t, what do I use as replacement?

a good reminder that a lot of difficulty people have in switching to Linux is because their computer didn’t come with it preinstalled, and they’re just not used to Linux yet

Windows has lots of issues that people just became accustomed to over time and kinda forgot were issues, or aren’t issues when the OEM preconfigures everything

I wish I could get paid to use and then talk shit about Windows 11. 😩
