I dislike windows, I resent the fact that gaming on linux is a pile of shit, even with all the work put in to it. The simple fact is laptops... gaming laptops with their dedicated and integrated gpu combos with optimus just don't run properly. The power usage is all over the place and is unlikely to change for a while. Plus, some very specific devtools are alot better on Windows for native app development. I figured, I should keep a log of all the issues I come across since I am doing the same on linux. Once more, these will be any and all annoyances that I find, they don't need to just be crashes, this means userspace issues and even ui/ux bugs.

1. Autohide Taskbar gets disabled on a multimonitor setup
2. Filemanager flashes white everytime I open a new tab
3. Windows terminal cannot duplicate a shell, meaning it loses the path, history and other items. Infact, I haven't found a way to do this, it appears to be a regression since this issue was supposedly fixed 1-2 years ago.
4. Every terminal emulator has it's own unique quirks on windows, all of which make it unusable
