Last week I added to my dolphin toolbar the "Show Hidden Files" button so it was always shown, my only issue was that it was a really long because of its text. "But wait!" I thought, "This is not windows, I'm sure I can change it!". Lo and behold, my button now says "Hidden" and it's as short as I want it, just by editing the normal settings, no mods required.

Me too. I'm on Linux Mint now and I love how simple, fast but also customizable it is.

If it's not for some specific games or programs, I don't see a single reason to still use Windows in 2026.

Yeah, between KDE and Cinnamon I can focus on my work and have the desktop environment gently fade into the background. Though some get a similar feeling using stuff like i3, sway or Niri.
