Nothing. Not even Wayland and Systemd will force me off of Linux.
Right? Even the “ick” parts of linux i’d take over osx or windows
That’s the neat part: you don’t have to take the icky parts. Just use artix instead of arch to not use systemd
Nothing, but my biggest gripe is with the fucking file explorers. All of them are super inferior compared to win10 sadly
yesterday i pressed tab to autocomplete in file explorer. didnt work. then i tried to split the view so i had a way to move files without cluttering my desktop. somehow didnt work on windows. dolphin(after getting used to it coming from windows) is loads better
You’re right, but also, in my experience by the time i’m wanting those more advanced features i’d prefer to do it in the command line anyway, and so the
Right Click |> Open in Terminalsolves all my issues.Super inferior? Windows 10 is far worse, at least windows 11 added tabs, but still is far worse than krusader or dolphin for me.
What do you like about windows version?
What are your favorite features of the Windows 10 file manager? Listing what you miss from other operating systems can help the Linux ecosystem to improve.
Man I wish my feedback would help but nobody is going to take the time to change something just because a random person complains about it on Lemmy, and neither am I gonna start a fork just for the sake of having my feature there.
Anywho, my biggest problem is with the “detailed view” mode and how it’s done in ALL file explorers on Linux.
I was more interested in what Windows gets right.
For me on Gnome Files (Nautilus) its little things:
- List view of files which they had but REMOVED
- Using Alt up/down instead of backspace. Must admit unlearning this helped me use it on Win11 the same way
- Recent places (folders not files) which was removed also iirc

Oh, I found Dolphin to be a superior experience to File Explorer in Win 10. I had a particular hatred for how it would, when copying files inside a OneDrive folder and trying to instantly rename them, decide to mark the entire name field after about one second (when sync of new file is complete), causing me to erase everything I wrote in that second and having to start naming it again. In my last job, this occurred on a very frequent basis.
Very old comment, but my 2 cents: sorting by extension instead of MIME type. I don’t want my jpegs, gifs and pngs mixed up when I tell PCMan, Thunar or Dolphin to sort by type. It annoys me to no end that something Windows has had since at least 95, most distros’ default file explorers don’t.
What exactly is better on win10?
For one, the detailed view mode. I have tried it in Dolphin and Mint’s FE, don’t remember if Nautilus has one, but they all try to appear like this oversimplified look. There is so much padding and dead space I want it to be compact and to the point.
Second, the side bar is just, sad.
Overall I don’t like the design I guess? They all feel very… apple like? Trying to be simple but in the process becoming wayyy too simple.
Libreoffice calc does not have the functionality Excel does.
Time for a bug report 😹
Also, have you tried gnumeric?
Gnumeric is nice and lightweight, but unlikely to satisfy people who are looking for a lot of features.
a gun to the head
That’s the reason I use TempleOS.
CAD Im not moving back, its more like moving back and forth
The lack of drawing and photo editing software. Krita is nowhere near clip studio paint, darktable in nowhere near light room. I use arch with qtile on my main gaming rig. My surface pro 9 is unfortunately stuck with windows 11.
Surface runs great with fedora and the surface kernel. Unfortunately, the lack of software makes it an expensive tablet/laptop that does nothing special. I could flip the surface and get an IPad pro, but I’m not going the apple route. I’ve been considering the Samsung Galaxy tabs. Those can run clip studio, concepts and some watered-down lightroom app.

What’s missing?
It’s not a rhetorical question. Clearly articulating how open source software can be improved helps to improve it.
I did a wireshark on bloatware windows in idle and it’s nope.
Using Widows on my private rig now to play Fortnite with my son after ~15 years on Linux only. Also getting a MacBook Pro at work now, since I have to use Zoom and stuff like that everyday. Having no hardware acceleration on Linux is a no-go. This is not Linux’ fault though. Also I’m old enough to just use the right tool for a job.
Nothing TBH. I find Windows too stressful, Macs are too boring, and I can’t use TempleOS because I don’t have schizophrenia.
Damnit. You managed to give me a laughing coughing fit
Your attitude towards OS is like what you enjoy about car ownership: Linux: you enjoy building cars and maintaining them. Windows: you prefer to spend your time under the hood working on difficult problems. Mac: you just want to drive.
fuck windows i’m never going back to that shit
My optimus laptop freezes sometimes when using the nvidia card. Idk why, I should look at the logs sometime to figure out what causes it.
I use all three. I have Windows on one of my machines that I use occasionally for gaming. I use Macs for work since that’s what all my corporate machines comes with and I daily drive Linux and use it for all my home servers.
Hardware. I do all my work on a laptop and those Apple M series processors have been amazing for performance and battery life. I’ll stick with a Mac until those Qualcomm X Elite CPUs start getting shipped in Windows laptops next year. After using this Mac for the past year, I think I prefer Windows and WSL over MacOS or Linux. This whole post only applies to laptops though; Linux on desktop and servers for life.
templeos
very daily drivable!!
