Personally, I’m not brand loyal to any particular OS. There are good things about a lot of different operating systems, and I even have good things to say about ChromeOS. It just depends on what a user needs from an operating system.
Most Windows-only users I am acquainted with seem to want a device that mostly “just works” out of the box, whereas Linux requires a nonzero amount of tinkering for most distributions. I’ve never encountered a machine for sale with Linux pre-installed outside of niche small businesses selling pre-built PCs.
Windows users seem to want to just buy, have, and use a computer, whereas Linux users seem to enjoy problem solving and tinkering for fun. These two groups of people seem as if they’re very fundamentally different in what they want from a machine, so a user who solely uses Windows moving over to Linux never made much sense to me.
Why did you switch, and what was your process like? What made you choose Linux for your primary computing device, rather than macOS for example?
at some point windows removed the focus stealing prevention setting. So I moved to KDE plasma, which has global AND per app focus stealing prevention settings.
It does? BRB, putting Steam on the lowest level possible so I can turn everything else back up.
Yeah, when you are in a window, right click on the taskbar (or press ALT+F3) > special application/window properties > search for focus stealing prevention
Sometimes you have to fiddle with the matching criterea to get exactly the window you want.
You can also find a list of all your special app configs in the settings app.
