The crime against humanity that is the modern OS desktop, and how to kill it

Re: Agree and disagree

Linux Mint + Cinnamon user here.

After doing some distro hopping, I have to say that if LM didn't exist, I would almost never use my personal laptop.

My productivity has almost halved when I had to switch from W7 -> W10. The loss of a grabbable Title Bar (they're almost all cluttered with controls now), the flat, monotone windows that blend into other windows, the ease at which one can accidently misclick a button. W10 is an utter hellscape compared to W7/WXP/W2000/W95.

When I go to my LM machine, it just works, and helps me to work on things.

W11 is an untenable situation. I think that many companies (more than MS would like to believe) will eventually switch over to OSX once W10 LTS is over. It's such a bad OS/DE, any sane company will look at the next best alternatives to not kill worker productivity even further...

Microsoft's do-it-all IDE Visual Studio 2022 came out late last year. How good is it really?

Re: "The top request for Visual Studio is a Linux version. Why?"

Truth.
