    I love Dolphin. Great for GameCube and Wii games.

        ComOP is joking about this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_(emulator)

        I thought the same thing when I saw the comic.

    I have one old laptop with Windows 10 sitting around, and only because it’s the only way to update the Xbox Series controller I have that randomly bootloops and thus is essentially useless anyway.

    So this begs the question: how much of Windows can I delete and replace with foss stuff, while still having it technically be a Windows OS?

    Soon:

    “I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows, is in fact, GNU/Windows/NT, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows plus NT. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another nonfree component of a fully functioning free GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX… and whatever NT does.”

      The absolutely most? ReactOS. It’s not really suitable for daily use, but it is essentially a clean room reverse engineering project of Windows itself.

    Can recommend, Dolphin makes life on windows slightly more tolerable. Kate for Windows is also amazing

    Great! Dolphin is also better than macOS Finder. I would replace it with Dolphin as well.

    However, Windows Explorer in Windows 11 still excels in one area: it doesn’t have a header, and the tabs are displayed on the header, like in Chromium.

    It’s also annoying that all KDE Dolphin tabs have that red [X] button. Sadly, the KDE developers reject great PRs like this one: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/269

    Who even presses those [X] buttons? I always use the Ctrl+W shortcut.

      You can make literally any window of any program have no header with KDE. I’m pretty sure you can make Dolphin look exactly how you are describing.

          Closest thing I found was adding a close button directly on the toolbar. No min/max buttons available unfortunately. Or you csn use a specific window decoration with a locally integrated menu: github.com/Zren/material-decor…
