alt Hacker NewsWhy? I’ve been using Unix workstations since the motif days through gnome whatever, but and every single one has seemed clunky as heck compared to the contemporaneous windows. Win 11 file explorer is 20 years ahead of nautilus. Not to mention all of the other windows perks like HiDPI & multi-monitor scaling polish, rdp, vastly superior accessibility, … And you can run wsl2 if you need to.

funny, windows 11's explorer has been the most infuriating experience for me over the years in all my personal and workplace machines (hangs, wont preview whatever files it decides doesnt want to, slow context menu startup, and many more) and frankly one of the reasons I've been daily driving kde+dolphin. I'd say I miss the out of the box cloud integration (you can install kio plugins but theyre not in a good state now. Dropbox have their own dolphin plugin as well), but I really couldn't care less when weighing in everything else. multimonitor support in kde wayland is just as good. Actually, its better, since you can control monitor brightness without a external program like Monitorian. wsl2 has some quirks if you're using a company VPN but overall pretty solid. Accessibility really is a pain point for linux in general

First it would be nice to know why you would think this and maybe provide an example, second there are other file pickers. It should also be noted that you don't need one at all, but if you want one, there are so many options, try nemo

What did he mean by that? Wayland supports different scaling factors between displays.

Hahahahaha
Some examples of what you mean please, otherwise this is just a lazy shill answer
Linux doesn't spy on you, though, or install rootkits against your will.
