Has Linux desktop caught up technically to Windows yet? The last time I used it there were still problems like double clicking a jpg from the Firefox downloads list opening an "open with" dialog pointed to /usr/bin or something. And it seems like where Windows will put things in places that might not technically be a perfect categorization but are convenient and make some sense, like monitor/video/screensaver properties from right clicking the desktop, this seemed to happen a lot less in Linux DEs. Aside from them seeming somewhat less responsive in general and lacking equivalent GUI system utilities to things like "Computer Management" or the device manager.
- OrganicMSG 9y agoI'm not sure that the Windows desktop has caught up technically compared to many of the graphical shells available for linux desktops, it just depends on which list of things you value in particular.
- crowbahr 9y agoIt's not there yet but the Bash for Ubuntu on Windows system is very very good.
