The thing that bugs me is how the sidebar is basically gimped by default. A couple tick boxes in the Folder Options and it will always open to the folder you're in, then you can jump through the tree of folders without just going up and down branches. They simplify it so much that it becomes less practical.

Yeah. My habit and instinct as someone who understands file trees is to open somewhere like Downloads then use the go up one directory button to home, but windows doesn’t want to do that, it basically acts as a back button in that instance and dumps you back to the recents window.

I feel like I’ll never have the perfect setup because I’m too opinionated to want to deal with windows, and have too many niche games and software that were coded like shit to run well in wine or proton (like Kingdom Hearts 1+2 on PC that switches renderer for video cutscenes and break the compatibility layer. Who wants to play a Disney JRPG without the cutscenes and videos?).
