On windows 10 its 1 click away only for Edge. For any other browser the settings page is opened and you do it feom there. Now, for me and you the settings page is the most trivial thing to operate, but for others it might not be.
On windows 11 they have broken down the default browser to a million default settings, and you need to change each and every one individually.
In google pixel a chrome-like search bar is stuck to every page on your homescreen, takes a full row, and very accidently clickable. You need to change the OS or launcher to stop this.
And then some things on all of those systems will always open eith chrome/Edge with no non hackish way of changing that.
Jesus you see why I use Linux?
That's awesome, but may I ask what do you use to replace Adobe Suite? Even the next big thing, Affinity, doesn't have Linux builds.
I'm pretty much convinced that anyone that uses Linux either doesn't use their computer much, or they are strictly a developer. Linux is missing way too many pieces of software, or even drivers for things, that would allow the majority of people to switch.
Just thinking about all of the different jobs that my friends and family have, they all use some kind of software or machine that has windows/mac only drivers, that using Linux is not possible.
@Polar @captain_aggravated Only hardware I have that doesn't have good function parity with Windows and Linux is a Logitech G510 keyboard. Aside from that, everything is fine. My two HP printers (Laserjet 5l, m102w) work great. Even an old Mustek 1200UB scanner works, where the last Windows driver for that was on XP.
Only thing I can't get into is Gimp, but Adobe CS4/5 works perfectly in a win7 VM.
