It’s so hard to tell how far a bird is by eye that I and, I think, most people would be easily fooled. Especially in clear weather.

No, I’m a happy i3wm user.

Because I’ve tried to get GNOME to do what I wanted. (Also it was too slow on the machines I was using at the time).

And that’s besides the point: on linux you can just use a good DE without messing with much – KDE, cinnamon, etc…

The registry never has and never will be simple nor usable. Windows is rotten to the core.
