this pisses me off so much. You can set an HDR wallpaper too, but only if you insert a special file into its place to trick Windows into working properly
You remind me of something different but related. I noticed in Windows 98 that it would store a different setting for BMP wallpapers. And BMP wallpapers would also load in faster. So when you first set a BMP wallpaper, and then change it to a JPEG, it would remembrr both of threm. And it will still briefly display the BMP one on startup before it loads the JPEG one.
It's kinda weird how much of a performance difference the wallpaper makes. I once installed Linux mint on an old laptop and the perf of managing windows and some other things was terrible until I changed the wallpaper to a plain color.
Meanwhile windows will still lag switching between desktops if they have different wallpapers, even on high end computers
Not sure about the future of WSL, but WSA (android) has been discontinued.
It's not really a suprise seeing as they partnered with Amazon for the app store, no side load support and as far as I know they didn't really mention it anywhere in the actuall OS, so few knew about it.
(Oh and when I tried it, getting it to work for just one app took way more effort than it should have)
I've used Ubuntu for a while a couple of years ago, and honestly, for daily usage and some light editing worked quite well. The gaming was an issue back then, but since i've brought a Steam Deck, i've stopped bothering playing games on windows anyway. Right now I'm looking around for others Linux disto. I've just installed Fedora on a 10 year old laptop and for now it works like a charm.
