Your argument sounds OK, but is probably stuck a bunch of years in the past. I observe the opposite lately.
Like I want to do something trivial on windows, like move the fucking taskbar on the left side of the screen, I have spent time searching and it still does not work. At lest on Linux if something does not work you have a leg to work on and a community to help. Have you seen the windows forums when encountering an issue? It's tragic.
I just tried it out, not even knowing before your comment.
Right click taskbar, uncheck Lock all Taskbars, click and drag it to the left side. Done.
Meanwhile, when I was using my Steam Deck as a desktop, it refused to save the position of my taskbar on my main monitor. Plus, when I did move it across each time I booted up, it would leave behind half the buttons because they're considered separate entities. Thank god for oh almighty user customization - making it incredibly hard to do something simple.
Are you on windows 11?
No, this is on 10. Perhaps they’ve made it harder there.
Well, not harder. Impossible. That's my gripe.
