So, what is the solved problem supposed to be? The link doesn’t really tell me anything except that it about a customisable titlebar or something.
Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows
huggingstars@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
The fundamental issue is that the desktops themselves are inferior products. Linux desktop developers spent years arguing which bad solution is better for a solved problem.
The gap is closer now but that’s only because Windows is killing itself.

Huh? Linux has had the superior desktop experience for decades.
Windows just recently managed to get the basics like an actual clipboard, tabbed file management.

What is an “actual clipboard”??
NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Selectable, historical, you know actually useful.
Windows 10 introduced a half ass attempt that finally worked with all programs and could be considered finctional.

I have clipboard history enabled but holy is that an actual security nightmare.
IMO not a good requirement to have.

No but seriously, what are you talking about?

That’s a weird thing to present as an absolute truth. As someone who has exstensively used both Windows (3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11) and macOS (from 2011-2022), and now using KDE Plasma on my daily driver laptop, GNOME at work and Cinnamon for my living room machine: all three Linux DE are superior experiences.
Surely there are people who would prefer Windows and macOS over them, but it is highly subjective.
