I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.

For as long as Windows has existed, I have found its APIs to be noisy, awkward, and generally unpleasant to use. It was a major part of why I switched my development focus to Unix a long time ago. I guess this is a matter of personal taste; I wonder how you’ll feel about the APIs more commonly used on Linux after five or ten years of using them full-time.
Despite a few niggles (I don’t care for Bourne-style shell syntax or Windows shell syntax) I have found my productivity to be better and more enjoyable since the switch. Nowadays, benefits include everything that comes with an open-source ecosystem, like the software install/update model of Linux distros, and the ability to solve or work around library/OS problems myself if I can’t wait for someone else to fix something.
And, of course, having a privacy-respecting platform for myself and my users is important to me.
In short, I’m happier here. Welcome.
By the way, if you do cross-platform desktop app development, give Qt a try. It does an excellent job overall.
