How long does it take for one of you to be able to use Windows right after typing password and confirming?
It could take longer on Linux. A lot longer, I don't care if someone has 16 cores and 1TB RAM, the latest graphics gear and drivers and so on. No I don't recommend "auto-log-in" to make it faster. The desktop/window environment doesn't matter. IJS LOL.
What about having to get out of "Recent Files" to navigate to a certain folder? Sure but with the old open file dialog in QB64PE IDE it could take longer fumbling with keyboard and/or mouse.
It doesn't bother me, as I've already said. In fact, it's good to have both options now, making the IDE look like a modern program that appeals to people.
BTW do not install Notepad++ (NPPP) via Microsoft Store... it's intolerably slow, and the only good thing it has is "dark mode." For someone who must have that program, please download it from the author's site.

I brought up the point about the text editor's save-file dialog offering only two choices, "Text Files" or "All text files" because I have to use Pluma/xedit. There are many editors for Linux, but few of them are good. Scintilla looks pretty but is a PITA, it's easy to fall into a hole configuring it to be just right. No editor based on Scintilla seems to have fixed the serious focus problem, in which some cases another program is opened then closed and then the user wants to get back to reading or editing but the stupid thing expects a mouse click inside its editing area. No keystroke shortcut works because the editor doesn't think it has the focus. Most of the editors are good for editing Python source code but never for a text entry like in this forum, more proper for a word processor. I cannot completely keep out Libreoffice because of it._OpenFileDialog$does actually have support for opening in a particular folder, QB64-PE just isn't passing it. I just tested it and we can likely fix that in the next release so that it opens to whatever folder you started QB64-PE from.
For the Save dialog, we already have_SaveFileDialog$support so we can definitely do it. It was looking a bit complicated to change though and we wanted to get the fixes for the all the dialog stuff out so we opted to skip it for now.
