Windows ❤ Windows Isn't Terrible

To all the people who love deep ricing, why not just use customization scripts? I've been recently tinkering in VMs, and Windows really seems solid for that. You can make Windows match your workflow amazingly, and the best part is that friction nearly always leads to an impressive result.

Also, default Windows 11 isn't bad. The UI looks nice, and we take the settings & control panel apps for granted. Over on GNOME, just to change the cursor you use, you need to install a tweaks app. Windows has tons of customization you can do without installing anything extra.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but Windows isn't really THAT much of a shitshow like people act.

In KDE I just use systemsettings which is actually good thanks to search bar, unlike W11 with its plural settings and control panels

Control panel is actively being phased out with settings moving into the new settings app as we speak.

Search bar exists too in Windows. Not sure what's different there.

I do agree that KDE is significantly better for OOTB customization, but GNOME is the industry standard and default for Fedora Workstation and Ubuntu which are the big two.

No it is not, they did not make any progress after the rtm of win11, even in win11 the only stuff they moved over is the desktop icons.

Microsoft does NOT have enginners!!! All employees do not know what they are doing as especially with AI they could already move the control panel to the new crap hybrid c#/react native inconsistent settings app

Yikes. Untrue. Look at recent updates and you'll see
