Just leave windows. It’s never going to get good. It has been resting on it’s laurels since windows 95.

Everything below the gui and all the ads in the gui sucks, but man I can’t get over how much I love the winui 3 look (libadwaita is close but the color stuff windows 11 does is just so nice) and the windows taskbar. Nothing is quite like it. If a Linux distribution offered proper mirrored taskbars on all screens I would absolutely and Wayland as well as a competent app launcher without 10 hours of configuration I would use it. I would even look past it not looking so good compared to winUI 3, but nothing offers any of that. Closest I have been able to come to replicating it was gnome with dash to panel, but even then I couldn’t get it to work quite right.
Please alert me if this has become possible.
I’m surprised after all these years that someone hasn’t made a better “control panel” for those things. I mean, not everyone likes editing config files.
OpenSuse has YAST and KDE plasma does a good job of gui configuration for itself it’s just that such options literally do not exist. The closest I could get was using plasma and a script that would update other panels to match the main one which is really janky. Gnome with dash to panel did a bit better with mirroring, but it started to wrap icons way way to early, and it didn’t seem changeable as it was an issue with how it works fundamentally.
I wish someone would just settle on something and put a crap ton of work into the GUI. Even if it wasn’t perfect, it would be a lot better than it is. I mean, macOS 10 years ago is still demolishing Linux.
COMEON! EXTEND IT TO EVERYONE! Edge can go suck a duck.
What did the duck do to deserve being sucked on by Edge?! Duck doesn’t deserve that.
Edge can suck a cold poison turd from Bill Gates sweaty asshole.
Leave duck alone. Sheesh.
Lol
Duck duck stop!
