"We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents," Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. "An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks."

The registry never has and never will be simple nor usable. Windows is rotten to the core.

Have you tried to configure gnome beyond what is offered in its GUI ?

The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.

If I'm going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of "but Linux hard! You have to configure things!" was moot.

No, I'm a happy i3wm user.

Because I've tried to get GNOME to do what I wanted. (Also it was too slow on the machines I was using at the time).

And that's besides the point: on linux you can just use a good DE without messing with much -- KDE, cinnamon, etc...
