This is extremely nice and saves me time on a literally (not figuratively) daily basis, to the point that I generally forget that it hasn't always worked that way.
Once you've switched to tiled window managers, examples like these sound like Stockholm Syndrome.
(propaganda - Windows 11 default widgets are "offering" a lot of russian-biased media, because Microsoft is too dumb to recognize that and they take any news source - and russian connected outlets are happy to use this delivery vector that most gullible people leave turned on)
WSL -> Running Linux VM inside of Windows
Wine is more like emulating Windows API behavior on Linux, while WSL is Microsoft throwing their hands in the air and saying "Lets just VM Linux wholesale".
Both aim to avoid Windows, neither replace Linux but instead tries to move more to Linux.
Better to just go straight to what you actually want, which seems to be a proper Linux distribution, everything just works as expected then.
WSL 2 is supposed to be a VM ... all problems solved ... until they aren't.
Hint: try to use normal USB stuff natively (Linux) in WSL 2 ...
It’s still not so easy to use, plus they ditched it anyway for VM solution.
Even occasional need for Adobe things stopped. I would still really like to see Adobe suite on linux, but if they don't want my money that's cool too I guess. I suspect the software tools people use for work is what's holding them back mostly, like Altium, CADs etc. Funnily enough, Microsoft office is just fine without OS native version most of the time.
