So it is a separate app you have to manually install?
Kind of like PowerToys itself?

No, it doesn’t make Windows behave like Linux.
It are just a collection of apps made by the engineers behind Windows with features that never made it into the official build because of all kinds of reasons.
Should have stated “no normal people”
Nerds don’t fall in that category when talking about OSes.
It isn’t easier though. None of the settings mentioned are necessary.
It is only easier when you want to optimize your OS. Which 80% of users won’t do.
I hope you Linux users know that none of these changes are necessary to use Windows like most people use it, right?
This is just optimization, like what any enthusiasts will do with their preferred OS anyway.
Like a distro with certain bloat disabled to optimize for gaming?
Cool, can you run video rendering software on it? How about some cli? Can you delete packages? Or even remove the french language?
You are forgetting backwards compatibility with ancient software that Windows still supports after 30+ years.
A lot of businesses need that in order to function.
Sure, but they are comparing SteamOS, which is a stripped down OS that does not have all the capabilities of a full Linux OS.
Just try using any photo editing software on SteamOS. Even ones compatible with Linux.
So? That still doesn’t change the fact that SteamOS is a stripped down version of Linux that can’t do everything a Linux computer can do.
So the comparison is flawed.
It is like comparing a Swiss army knife to a regular knife. The regular knife is going to be better at cutting, but it won’t do any of the other things a Swiss army knife can do
Why? Isn’t SteamOS a stripped down version of Linux?
Because they aren’t just optimizing for gaming.
Any change they make would influence their other markets as well, like general and office use.
You’d think anyone techliterate would disable the bloat.
No, because Windows isn’t optimized for games. It is for general use, including games.
Even gamers do more than just game on their PC, though.
So a specialized OS wins over a general OS in their specific tasks?
Amazing …
Sure, but what distro?
~voilent fight ensues~
The most deceitful bots even try to convince you there are more bots than what are shown on Youtube.
They even follow you to other sites like Lemmy and make posts.
