    Yes on Windows I think disks are not mounted, they are just there on the letters

    But that works fine on Linux too. I have not used multi-drive systems much, but I use an encrypted SD card that is liked to a folder in my home so that programs dont even need to write to anything custom. Was like a few clicks and even worked on GNOME, on KDE that is easier too.

    Panels, yes. KDE had a separate panel config per monitor which is worse than on Windows. But apart from that, they work out of the box and are really customizable.

    GNOME… doesnt allow configurations like at all. You need 3rd party apps for everything, then you can do whatever you want, which also works well.

    So maybe that just has changed.

        If you wanted to take a second crack at it, it is easier than ever to learn how to use Linux. The one thing I have found ChatGPT useful for is guiding me through setting up a new program or daemon or to explain to me what that super cryptic error message means. ChatGPT is not perfect and requires whoever is using it to sanity check the result it gives, but more often than not I find I walk away with a better understanding of what I was doing.
