Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 months agoCustomization = getting it to do what you want, which can be a pain in the ass even for basic functions. Here’s an example I had to deal with: hot corners in both Windows and MacOS let you turn off the display so you can do things like play a YouTube video at night to listen to as you fall asleep, but also not lock the screen or put the machine to sleep entirely. I had to look up how to make it do what is a simple thing to achieve in the other two big OSes.
There really should not be a learning curve for “if you put your cursor here, the display turns off.”

yeah, i get it, but it´s the same thing if you´re switching from windows to macos or the other way around. you loose searching capability [which is cmd + space] if you switch to windows, and you need a seperate app for window tiling in macos. lots of people agree that linux is the most customizable os in the market compared to macos and windows, they even have a seperate subreddit in reddit just for “ricing” which means customizing linux, you can look them in r/unixporn. btw, you have the option to run a command while using hot corners, it´s directly in the system settings. here´s a screenshot that i took just now.

I know you can run a command in hot corners. That was the problem. I had to look up the command I needed. That’s the sort of learning curve that is a barrier to many people.
