I feel like this post is guerilla marketing for "TempleOS", which I've never heard of before and will absolutely not be looking up after this.

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.

It's not. TempleOS is a famous from scratch OS created by a guy with serious mental illness. It's a sad story, but the capability of that guy was incredible. He's gone now :(
For real though definitely do not access this site right bellow here and install this OS

I wish Linux had Powertoys Fancy Zones
What's that?
Splits my Ultrawide into several customised sections that I can snap Windows to.
As I'm dragging a window I simultaneously right click and a bunch of zones appear that I can snap it to.
I have an Ultrawide and a portrait 1440p that are split vertically and horizontally respectively.
Basically KDEs tiling
The main reason I started using Linux is because I wanted to use tiling window managers. Maybe take a look at some of those. It's the same idea as Fancy zones just cranked up to 100
kde plasma has it enabled by default. just drag your windows using shift. also press super + t to enter the editing mode
But then I'd have to use kde. 😣
Yup
Having to fiddle with some games, I need my DLSS. I'mnin this for live tho.
The fucking GTK file chooser. It's like all application developers have made a pact with each other to never use a consistent UX, with the exception of having to press ctrl-L to edit the path textbox. It's painful. And as much as I like XDP, support for it is spotty at best, and sometimes downright broken.
I mean, who the FUCK puts the filesystem root in a submenu? Or sorts files and directories together? I just want to talk and explain why they're beyond salvation.
GTK my behated 🥲
I searched around for a bit, and apparently one could preload a library to replace the file dialog functions with an own, custom one, and I'd root for rofi (with a dmenu theme, kinda).
Sometimes not feeling like being part of the online friend group. But I won't switch to Windows, it's just too bad.
Using Widows on my private rig now to play Fortnite with my son after ~15 years on Linux only. Also getting a MacBook Pro at work now, since I have to use Zoom and stuff like that everyday. Having no hardware acceleration on Linux is a no-go. This is not Linux' fault though. Also I'm old enough to just use the right tool for a job.
Very specific - linux mint occasionally... crashes? Goes back to lock screen randomly, and closes all open programs. Very annoying to have happen when playing Beyond All Reason with 15 other people, causing the game to pause while I scramble to get back in (if possible). Haven't looked into why too much, just went back to Windows to game. Mint for casual browsing and most else.
Thats a reason against mint not Linux XD had it too, just use a modified GNOME or KDE desktop and you are fine and actually have wayland support
Fair point, Mint doesn't represent Linux as a whole. I finally settled on Mint cause I didn't like the look of stock GNOME and... I forget why I decided against using Mint's KDE. Choose Cinnamon cause I was tired after distro hopping a bunch and didn't want to tinker anymore.
I'm sure you can customize GNOME to look like KDE/Cinnamon, but if it just breaks in the next update or two I'd rather not go through the trouble.
I think I read somewhere that Mint is getting wayland support soon though? It'll be nice if that fixes the crashing bug.
I think with KDE 6 there is hope. But I am currently having memory safety issues with Dolphin, the rest is working fine though, but anyaways doesnt feel nice.
And KDE is usable... Dolphin is such great software, although probably pretty bloated and somehow crashy
Nothing, but my biggest gripe is with the fucking file explorers. All of them are super inferior compared to win10 sadly
yesterday i pressed tab to autocomplete in file explorer. didnt work. then i tried to split the view so i had a way to move files without cluttering my desktop. somehow didnt work on windows. dolphin(after getting used to it coming from windows) is loads better
