> This is why Free desktop operating systems are a joke and haven’t been popularly adopted. I'm at least somewhat with the author in general, but this is a case of "grass is always greener" syndrome. I made a full switch to Linux from Windows in no small part because of issues just like this, I got tired of OneNote completely breaking on my Surface. Even on much more polished operating systems -- Mac's window snapping is still inexplicably awful for, as far as I can tell, no reason at all except that Apple refuses to copy the simple model that both Windows and Gnome adopted. We tolerate it. I purchased a 3rd-party program to replicate the functionality, and it sometimes works. A more drastic example, my proprietary router won't let me set a custom DNS server at the router level. It has an option to do so, but it doesn't do anything, and this is an open bug that people complained about for years that was just... ignored. And eventually they pushed a fix for it that broke everyone's routers and required manual rollback. If something isn't a showstopper, sometimes it just gets ignored in general. Has nothing to do with whether or not it's free software, and everything to do with whether or not somebody somewhere cares enough to fix it.
