    It’s very often true, though. Windows has pretty graphics, but doing anything technical that doesn’t work out of the box is fucking obscure.

      What do you mean, the registry is a perfect piece of software, crystal clear on how or why it works the way it does !

        Yes, I agree!

        Who would want to enable cycling through application windows on the taskbar via graphical settings in KDE Plasma, when you can just press Win+R, enter regedit.exe, get administrator privilages, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced and add a new 32-bit DWORD named LastActiveClick with the value of 1 in Windows.

          Elementary users are probably looking away now, all embarased… mainly because they don’t have a minimize button, to hide the shame. Not without screwing around with dconf, that is :)

      Not even too technical stuff. Settings which a slightly advanced user might need or want to change are freaking spread out across 3 different applications. Good luck finding it through the their amazing search.
