@theorytoe @mona @skylar @SuperSnekFriend I've only tried the mint one so idk what others are like. It seemed more or less exactly like windows' though, feels natural using it.
@mona @SuperSnekFriend @skylar startallback is the one I tried first with their free trial but it didn't quite do what I was looking for. Explorerpatcher did a much better job.
@SuperSnekFriend @mona @skylar I would rather pay for quality and convenience in a lot of cases. When it gets exorbitant, like in the case of Adobe, then switching to free alternatives and accepting the downsides is sometimes necessary. However, I'm running an old 2015 version of photoshop and it still blows GIMP out of the water.
The default file manager in win 11 is fine, honestly. Just about as good as whatever mint uses, maybe a bit better. A lot of it will come down to taste and use cases. There are plenty of tools out there to get the job done though no matter what you use. It's just for me, I have an easier time working with windows and I'm able to cut out all/most of the shit I and others would criticize about it anyway.
@skylar @mona @SuperSnekFriend and if you don't know how to do this stuff manually, you have wonderful tools like chris titus' winutil: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil
i'd also recommend explorerpatcher for those on windows 11 who want to bring back windows 10 features: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
if you want to go even further, you can use the answer file method when installing windows, customizing it exactly how you want it to start as: https://github.com/memstechtips/UnattendedWinstall
a good windows install using these simple tools is a much better experience than linux is in my personal opinion. that isn't to say that linux is a bad experience if you know what you're doing and really like tinkering around with things, but at the end of the day i just like the way windows works more. it makes it easier for me to do everything that i need to do instead of fiddling with things as much. and as much as it sucks, most software either works better on windows or the commercial software is leagues better than the foss stuff. i still have yet to find a colorblind filter better than windows' for instance, and the one that someone made for me for linux just didn't work and neither of us could figure out why... which seems to be a trend when it comes to me and linux lol.
right now i'm running win11 and i don't even have notifications, the action center, copilot, cortana, bing search, any telemetry garbage, stripped out services, and more and it only took a little bit of work to setup. explorerpatcher was a godsend too, because i'm much more familiar with win10. win11 gets a little toooo modern with things, i think win10 is a really good sweet spot between looking nice and being functional.
that being said, i had to upgrade to windows 11 because my win10 install decided to shit itself. i had that happen with a mint installation though recently too so it's not like linux is free from random issues popping up like that either. don't know what happened to the windows one, but the mint one i think it's because something updated without another thing updating first and it destroyed it to the point i had to just do a fresh install.

@LukeAlmighty people always do this shit, they'll update their video title to reflect the current year. it's how you can instantly tell the video is going to have bad information in it.

@Anon3_0 no idea, it just died and I couldn't recover it. Got my important files and the drive is fine, the windows install just decided it was time to go.
RIGHT when I got home the internet shit itself. It amazes me how many times they "fix" the internet and yet we still have at least one outage a month. And you don't get credited for downtime or anything. MMOs give you extensions because of maintenance and yet the internet companies are like "yeah sorry your internet was down for a day, but you still have to pay us for the time it was down." It almost feels intentional.
@hispanicweeb I've been using anime boxes, this looks pretty good though
