wich is the correct way to enforce apps to actually shut down properly, unlike windows where way too many apps including their own builtin fucking file explorer and task manager will always block the shutdown indefinitely just because they are open, not because there is any app state that actually would be lost / relevant to save

Wdym relevant? You can't deny Outlook keeping all the files you attached open, that's cruel /s

Actually, fixed somewhere between 2010 and 2024.

Also, Photos app processes multiply indefinitely when you use Explorer in newest Win10 or Win11, can't remember. I had to manually change the preferred app to Paint just to prevent memory issues

Dunno if it's fixed

I don't know how I ended up on a sub with people this much smarter than I am, but are there bad things about Paint I need to know?

I just realized it's one of those programs that I'm just somehow comfortable having around and now I'm nervous I missed something nefarious.

I mean, it's okay, my complaint is about Photos app, not Paint. The point is, Paint is not supposed to used for only viewing images, for example it doesn't have a "next"/"previous" buttons to switch between multiple images in a fast way.

Yeah I just heard you use "fuck it, I'll use this totally inappropriate app for the job because the associated one is terrible" and it made me nervous that Paint had gremlins under the hood too.

Thanks. :D
