What improvements has Windows made in the last decade? I think what you're describing is a symptom of modern software development as a whole.


I wouldn't say as a whole. KDE is way ahead of where it was 10 years ago!


KDE was far less mature than macOS and Windows 10 years ago. Of course it’s come a long way.


Windows Terminal and PowerToys are pretty nice. The Phone Link app is convenient, and screenshots are way better (no need to paste into Paint anymore, just use snip and sketch)


The snipping tool (with all features I'm using today) was added to PowerToys more than 20 years ago. It was integrated directly into Windows 10 pretty early in the update cycle. Not sure it qualifies for "the last decade".


You get AI EMBEDDED EXPLORER! Just wait 2 seconds for LLM to open up your folder.

Oh and don't forget to watch the ads.


Or their constant use of dark patterns to push you into using Bing and Edge. I was actually an Edge user myself. I liked a few of its built-in features, and it felt pretty fast. But then they started tricking me into changing my default search engine to Bing. I fell for it a couple of times, and then I quit.
