haha true. there are so many QoL things going on, it's hard to keep track. extract & trash in the context menu is tight.
i like ability to pick any window and in two clicks enable/disable it from always staying on top of other windows.
also, the VPN controls built into the network adapter on the task bar. two clicks to toggle and it's nearly instant. any change to windows networking seems to require it to do some complex 9-dimensional calculation of a trip to mars.
something i really appreciate is being able to build back the Quick Launch bar as a widget, which Windows destroyed in Win11 and made it impossible to recreate without 3rd party garbage. it was legitimately one of the few things i appreciated about the windows interface... i think it started before windows 7? but each iteration they would get hide it in favor of their duplo-for-grandma bs, until they completely vaporized it Win11 so we would be forced into the jankiest iteration of the toolbar ever devised.
It feels like the difference between software made by computer users vs corporations. The improvements actually improve the experience
What distro do you use? This sounds really cool 😃 I got a framework laptop off cl and am looking for distro reccs
Any distro is fine as long as it has KDE.
currently i run Bazzite (the KDE build) as a recreational daily driver due its built in windows gaming compatibility and built in steam gaming.
i have a laptop dedicated more for like productivity and that runs Kubuntu, and a tiny form factor seedbox/servarr/media appliance with a 24TB DAS that runs Ubuntu long term stable, which i manage almost exclusively through ssh at this point. it sits in a little closet and quietly self-hosts all my media.
im mostly used to the ubuntu distro and bazzite is the sort of gaming/experimental test box. its pretty great.l and tons of stuff works right out of the box.
