Full Software support and functionality from device vendors.
WinKey+period to enter emoji and other Unicode characters. I’ve got some workarounds, but they are all just slightly kludgy, especially with the Wayland clipboard.
What desktop environment are you using? That shortcut is already available in KDE Plasma 5/6.
My laptop going to hibernate and then destroying the battery is making me miss Windows power management for hibernation
Inkscape? Maybe.
Gimp is not a drawing software, so it makes sense it doesn’t have a dedicated “draw complex geometric figures” tool by default. It does have a shape selection tool. Anyways, it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Krita is for painting, gimp is for image manipulation, inkskape is for vector graphics. Paint.net is a weirdo that does everything but doesn’t do any of those things well enough.

I have a telescope mount and an AV processor that require Windows 10, wine won’t work with either one. The Windows was stripped down using Atlas though. I only boot it once every few months and I get no pop ups or notifications at all, it’s perfect.
No.
Nope
I mostly miss old Windows for nostalgia reasons. I’ve been macOS and now Linux for many years now.
Just having easy access to everything on the internet tbh. From games to apps, everything on windows is compatible. Hopefully that continues to change in favor of Linux.
Nothing at all from Windows 11. Windows 10 had good paint and notepad versions. Nice and quick and handy. I use Leafpad and Drawing on Linux, but they aren’t quite the same as the OG paint.exe and notepad.exe 😆
I quit using notepad.exe when Win 2000 came out. So many better options were available at that time. No idea why someone would like it and still want to use at this day and age… 🤣
You obviously do not work on customer systems 🙂
You need to be able to rebuild the bootsector of a hardrive from memory with a keyboard in the wrong language using only notepad and cmd 😁
“Better” isn’t what I use notepad for. I just want a place to put unformatted text.
Its a intermediary that doesn’t have anything except basic text. Plus it opens in sub-millisecond times unlike the godawful shitshow that is Windows 11 Notepad (and paint is dogshit UWP app now too). It is useful for clearing formatting/markup, saving passwords and stuff in memory till I no longer need them, etc. Heavier editors exist, but none launch so fast or “just” do basic text with nothing fancy. Also, it opens literally any file you could possibly want. (at least it tries 😆)

Proper power management on my laptop is the biggest one.
There are many software applications that don’t support Linux that I would like to use.
nop. my overall desktop experience has improved substantially after I carved out my own niche of ‘creature comforts’.
feels lovely to have a system that works for you, rather than something that’s so adversarial.
Winamp.
Actually no, Audacious player can load old Winamp skins.
