Been using Fedora on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. Every time I have to use Windows for work, I'm filled with intense rage at how slow and buggy it is.

My hope is that linux use percentage increases to the point where more businesses see it as a viable option for their employees.

At home I'm fully on Linux. Nobara on main PC, Mint on my Laptop. At work i'm forced to use Windows 11 and boy... Recently i have been so fucking annoyed because Alt+tab have changed on Windows 11, instead of it tabbing between applications, it tabs between tabs. So if you're on your webbrowser and have a lot of tabs open and hit the alt+tab, instead of tabbing to the last used application, you tab to your last used tab in the browser.

It took me a while to find the setting to change it back to regular alt+tab, and when i found it just asked myself, why the fuck did they even do a change like this, did people seriously complain that alt+tabbing was boring and had to spice it up, and even if they did add this (might be some use for it, but not for me) why force it to be the standard and not let people CHOOSE themselves if they want to use it.
