I'll add to this that as a long time Windows user, and occasional Mac OS (work related), I'd say Windows is a decade behind gnome. How Windows still doesn't have good ways to record or capture the screen, of moving and resizing windows is still requires focus and skill, is beyond me. Also, different UIs from different generations, with partially overlapping features. Not to mention internal key value store that makes it impressive that it doesn't stop working suddenly more often than it does.

> a decade behind gnome You mean macOS? Seems kind of random.

  > "I'd say Windows is a decade behind gnome." ^ I thought this made it clear I was referring to Windows? I honestly do not care about anything related to flame wars. Just that whenever I use Windows and want to do OS related things, it all feels clunky and annoying. It's not consistent. It's slow at start for no good reason (likely due to telemetry, or other online stuff). Updates are annoying and I'm glad I don't have do do anything professional on Windows. The windows api is ugly. The only saving grace it has for technical productivity is WSL2. But, at that point, there is zero incentive to use something so clunky, when you can use linux/gnome and have a much, much, more enjoyable experience. Again, everyone to each theirs. Ship buoyancy and all that. edit: Ah, I think I understand my misunderstanding. I wasn't commenting so much on the previous post about Windows vs MacOS. But adding that if something is a decade old compared to Windows, I consider windows to not have had any consistent improvements since Windows XP. Everything after that has been a mess. Some things better, but with a mix of old. "Need to fix something os-related", looks through new control panel. nope. looks through old control panel nope. Maybe it was in computer management?

      I see. No worries :) My comment was intended as being somewhat relevant to, but not directly, to yours. The same way you related your windows vs mac experience, I related my gnome to windows.

        I'm not the person you initially replied to, but yeah, makes sense.

Win+Shift+S does all kind of screenshots. Win+Alt+R will record video of current window - unfortunately there's nothing for whole desktop. Not sure what's your problem with resizing windows but there are all kind of shortcuts for moving and resizing them if mouse is somehow too hard.
