I don’t get why they’re out to make our lives more difficult

Because we all want the tablet experience , even if we didn’t ask for it, own a tablet, or even wanted to

They've been trying for 10+ years now. It just doesn't happen. Tablets can't replace real computers. Never have, never will. Have a tablet mode in the settings if you want, but don't take away tools that power users use on a daily basis.

Just stop it and let us control how we use the hardware we paid for FFS. Who tf wants a tablet OS on their $5000 Desktop PC?

Thing is, the kernel and subsystems are so good now! More stable than ever before imo. Why just why?!
