To be fair: I switched to Linux 6 years ago. I’m using a tiling windowmanager, a lot of custom scripts, a different keyboardlayout with six instead of two layers (great for writing greek math, and other symbols) and an enthusiastic emacs user. I know the my System in and out. As a CS end math student, I know a fair bit about a Computer. But when A sit in front of an ordinary windows PC, I am a little bit upset. I stumble a lot of times over the thought: “You don’t have a keyboard shortcut for this! You have to use the Mouse, to switch Windows or you have to click yourself trough a menu to change this setting. There are no man pages you can search with regex” I hate it!
I was being sarcastic. If a shortcut requires 5 buttons, it’s it really a shortcut? Press Win to open search and type link will probably also do the same thing

It’s because Windows has to save its keyboard combinations for the important things, like opening a new LinkedIn tab.
CTRL - SHIFT - ALT - WIN - L opens linkedin.
Thanks, Captain Obvious. No need to post such common shortcuts like this
It was news to me. But then I haven’t used Windows more than trivially in years.
Gives me even less of a reason now.

Gotcha.
I could totally believe Microsoft did some kind of stupid deal with LinkedIn.
LinkedIn was bought by Microsoft in 2016
Even more of a reason then… but it’s not true, so it’s moot.
