This is one of my top two reasons for not using Windows. Wth can I not put the panel where ever the hell I want?? So freaking frustrating how they control what you can do just in terms of user preferences. Or like, why can't I click on whatever window I want regardless of a prompt being open. "Oh you took a screen shot and want to save it, but you need to look at the site to remember the name? lol, fu." Unbearable.
Fyi, the other top reason is that they shove a bunch of garbage in that I don't want, like that Cortana bs they did a few years back. No thank you.
I always wanted to use Linux, so it wasn't really anything that Windows did that drove me away, it was more I could finally play the games I wanted to when Windows 11 came out and needing to change my bios settings to upgrade was enough of a nudge for me to say fuck it.
