    Just leave windows. It’s never going to get good. It has been resting on it’s laurels since windows 95.

      😂 Windows has been good, and the best OS choice for the overwhelmingly large majority of people, for going on 30 years. The “windows bad Linux good” Lemmy hive mind is insane.

        When did I say Linux?

      Everything below the gui and all the ads in the gui sucks, but man I can’t get over how much I love the winui 3 look (libadwaita is close but the color stuff windows 11 does is just so nice) and the windows taskbar. Nothing is quite like it. If a Linux distribution offered proper mirrored taskbars on all screens I would absolutely and Wayland as well as a competent app launcher without 10 hours of configuration I would use it. I would even look past it not looking so good compared to winUI 3, but nothing offers any of that. Closest I have been able to come to replicating it was gnome with dash to panel, but even then I couldn’t get it to work quite right.

      Please alert me if this has become possible.

        I’m surprised after all these years that someone hasn’t made a better “control panel” for those things. I mean, not everyone likes editing config files.

        You can’t afford a $599 MacMini? It’s damn fast. What is it that you think is both cheap and good?

      What did the duck do to deserve being sucked on by Edge?! Duck doesn’t deserve that.

      Edge can suck a cold poison turd from Bill Gates sweaty asshole.

      Leave duck alone. Sheesh.

      Lol
