    [Windows] can make the experience crippling for non-technically minded users

    Wild seeing this in an article talking about Linux.

      It’s very often true, though. Windows has pretty graphics, but doing anything technical that doesn’t work out of the box is fucking obscure.

        Not even too technical stuff. Settings which a slightly advanced user might need or want to change are freaking spread out across 3 different applications. Good luck finding it through the their amazing search.

        What do you mean, the registry is a perfect piece of software, crystal clear on how or why it works the way it does !

          Yes, I agree!

          Who would want to enable cycling through application windows on the taskbar via graphical settings in KDE Plasma, when you can just press Win+R, enter regedit.exe, get administrator privilages, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced and add a new 32-bit DWORD named LastActiveClick with the value of 1 in Windows.

    Interesting.

    Anyone know the status of Valve “generalizing” that? Or is the idea going to be that ayaneo will work on a delay as they swap out drivers and all the other “immutable” stuff?
