Is there a big popup at startup with windows that I somehow missed with all the shortcuts? Or did linux became sudenly less documented overnight? Why wouldn’t they know? Why do you think that users magicaly knows about shortcuts almost never referenced anywhere on windows but wouldn’t know about one sparking a debate among linux users with a toggle in settings directly referencing it?
For me it’his is one of the most useful features of Linux desktops and one of the main reasons I feel lost when I have to use Windows.
You won’t lose it. They’ll just turn it off by default for new users.
And then they’ll remove the feature citing telemetry.
And soon new users will never know, as each great Linux feature becomes hidden until the default desktop is a awful as all the rest.
As much as new windows users don’t know about ctrl+c, alt+f4, win+d… Those who don’t care won’t learn, those who do, will, it’s as simple as that.
They won’t though, because they will never know.
I am not a fan of dumbing everything down and hiding all the good stuff.
