Yeah, I noticed that on GNOME as well

TL; DR
My experience between Windows and Linux is not much different with how often I have issues. But given the choice I much more prefer my Linux experience.

I hate Windows just as much as the next guy, but this comment section smells a little of confirmation bias.

From my experiece (web dev in a mainly MS branded stack) Windows mostly just works. Yes there are horrendous design, UX choices forced upon me, but I can usually force the OS to do what I need and how I need it.

Now comparing it to my home Pop setup it also mostly just works. There are occasional freezes that require a restart and such, but I wouldn't say it's much more different from Windows.

Now what does differ a lot is that I don't need to fight the OS to do shit. It's way better productivitywise, when I know what I'm doing. Which is deffinetly not the case everytime.

There was an issue, don't know how relevant now, with WSL 2 that caused awfully slow host filesystem operations. Not sure if it got fixed by now

Good, they even compiled a list of sources.

Not gonna lie, I would've spit my drink laughing if I was at that table.

EDIT:
I didn't even know about the famine or tension between Irish and Israeli. The context makes that comeback x10 better.

Bold of you to assume we had hotel money when I was 12

I wouldn't consider it superior, just different, in case of a keyboard shortcut.

Sometimes people manage other computers so it's not practical to configure all of them and you can't trust what people have configured for the power button

I saw other people mentioning managing multiple computers in an offise space. I wouldn't trust that everybody wound configure the power button action.

It's an easier click target when it's in the corner. Moving cursor from the middle to the corner is negligible for me since I can reach the whole screen with relatively minor mouse movement.

In the end it's a muscle memory thing for me. Having the button in the middle just means I have to look for it in a different location than I've used to over the years.

But wont this change how search is displayed? Honestly, I hope I can keep my alphabetical order. Learning some algorithmic categorization is not what I want to spend my time at work.
