Can you elaborate on what you think is wrong with this? When you type the command into the terminal, do you get what you need?

It also supports multiple desktops such as Cinnamon, XFCE and MATE. You can also manually install other desktops such as KDE Plasma.

They do things like WSL, make enhancements to notepad, add rar support, task manager enhancements, tabs in explorer... all while doing things like cortana, removal of local accounts, tpm mandates, and more. I can't imagine being a developer of windows. I'm sure the individuals adding those good features are dead on the inside when they see…
> I can't imagine being a developer of windows. Lucky bastard. I'm forced to and it's hell.

#38The next step is obviously to also build in industrial espionage. If natural persons have no privacy, why should legal persons have it?
You are about 27 years late to the game on that idea.

Um… you mean gnome-system-monitor(1) which comes by default with almost all gui Linux. Or plasma-systemmonitor(2) which covers everything else?
