I’m using Fedora with Budgie desktop environment. I’ve previously been a long time windows user, and have also been using Ubuntu and Linux Mint for quite a while.
I switched the file manager to Nemo for a desktop experience more comparable to windows 10.
What I don’t like about my current setup and I’m looking to improve (I’m not even sure who’s fault it is, if Fedora is to blame for improvements, or my particular desktop environment / file manager), most of these complaints are of stuff you’d take for granted on win 10:
Can’t drag and drop files from file explorer or desktop into programs open in the task bar
Expected: Dragging a file onto a software icon should open the software, and there the file should be droppable into any valid context area (I understand some apps need permission for this, for example discord, but all the former doesn’t even happen). Easiest example of this would be the actual nemo file explorer which should open and allow transfering files dragged from other paths.
Hovering on application icons doesn’t display selectable instances. Example: Multiple open file explorers don’t show a list/preview unless you right click, it shouldn’t be necessary to right click, hovering should already imply you wish to see how many instances of that program are open, so they should auto display, + the instance list is so small, and has other options first in list that makes it even more complicated to click / find the instance you’re looking for, not visual at all like on windows where you can even see a visual preview of the program instances running (and nothing else). Lucky at least the instance list for the programs I use often has different names for each instance (easily the case for nemo explorers).
