Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows

• NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Do you not know what a clipboard is? Did you not use linux for years and when you had to deal with the windows desktop it was easily in the top 10 of really annoying things a computer should be able to do?

  In windows 10 they finally got a resemblance of clipboard. The bare minimum.

  Meanwhile, Linux had a qr reader/writer, full object cut and paste, actions, white-space trimming, history length adjustment, persistence between sessions, blacklisting, clipboard editing, functions, search, sorting, should I keep going?

  You can find multiple complaints over the years about how bad windows was at this.

      You need me to spell out what I said? Windows did not have a clipboard. That is it. You could enable one separately for word/excel for awhile.

      Otherwise the system got one slot. ONE to hold text. That was it.

      I was explaining what I mean. What more could i say?

      You are highlighting exactly what I am talking about: Linux has had a ton of features for the desktop for years (better right click context menus, better network protocol support, better nearly everything) but windows people didn’t so they don’t even know why using windows was basically living in the dark ages until Windows 10 started to get some worthwhile features. Windows 11 was the first to actually get a nearly functional file manager for example.

      I mean you are thinking QR read/write is not a useful clipboard feature?
