haha you just did the exact thing I predicted. No offense meant honestly, you don't seem like a simp, but it's just funny that in response to what I said you recommended two different apps I've never heard of to un-fuck windows

sketchy third party apps

I was replying mostly about the "sketchy" comment. The apps I mentioned are open source, and are among the most popular programs for anyone customizing Windows - maybe even top 5.

If you're not a Windows user, then yeah, why would you personally need to know of them? Much like the average Windows user would not be able to even tell you what ls and cat are for. Doesn't make those tools any less valid.

Because I used windows for over 20 years on a daily basis. I would recognize some of the app names I used to use for such purposes. I understand that time moves on and things change. Kinda speaks volumes though that there are SO MANY apps designed to do a similar thing: make windows bearable.
