The simps will make excuses and say all you need is some sketchy third party apps that neuter the unwanted “features” of windows. You have to do more work now on windows just to get to an acceptable baseline than you do for installing most flavors of Linux.
haha you just did the exact thing I predicted. No offense meant honestly, you don’t seem like a simp, but it’s just funny that in response to what I said you recommended two different apps I’ve never heard of to un-fuck windows
I was replying mostly about the “sketchy” comment. The apps I mentioned are open source, and are among the most popular programs for anyone customizing Windows - maybe even top 5.
If you’re not a Windows user, then yeah, why would you personally need to know of them? Much like the average Windows user would not be able to even tell you what ls and cat are for. Doesn’t make those tools any less valid.

Because I used windows for over 20 years on a daily basis. I would recognize some of the app names I used to use for such purposes. I understand that time moves on and things change. Kinda speaks volumes though that there are SO MANY apps designed to do a similar thing: make windows bearable.

To be fair, you can use just a couple open source tools like ExplorerPatcher and Open-Shell to vastly improve the UX.
I’d actually say it’s easier to get a modern environment in Windows 11 as it natively has a tabbed file manager and terminal.
I say this as someone who has to use Windows, versus wanting to use Windows.

Or you can just set it up like if you were living in Europe…
“set it up”? …what?
Set up Windows as if you were living in Europe, boom, most issues are automatically solved.
