Unigine would download but fail checksum on all mirrors.
Neatbench was the same way.
decapobench tried all the mirrors and couldn't locate.
Image below is the Paraview error.

They continue to obfuscate things that you might be looking at (hide extensions means someone will think they've downloaded and opened Meme.jpg but it's actually Meme.exe) and break things like the Start Menu.

Hiding the extensions is a trade-off. It makes it harder to identify the file type, but it also makes it harder for users to "break" the file by renaming it and changing the extension. The real problem is that too much behaviour is driven by the extension alone.
I feel that if you want to hide file extensions, then the file type should be emblazoned across the icon somewhere. Windows already sort of does this with shortcuts. It puts a little arrow indicating that it's not the actual file/folder. I don't see why it couldn't just overlay the file extension over the icon somewhere.

Unigine. neatbench, dacapobench should all be fixed next time you run `phoronix-test-suite openbenchmarking-refresh`. For ParaView you need to install a Microsoft file -- it should be mentioned in the output when you are installing the test.
The only pop up I can remember from the install was for Microsoft C++ 14. Windows 10 blocked it saying it was an older version that was being installed and that if I really wanted it, I would have to go back and uninstall the current version of MS C before version 14 could be done. I thought I fixed that, but let me go back and check that C version again.
Thanks for the quick turnaround.

Both the things you refer to can be changed easily. Gnome's ui is far worse in many aspects
And Gnome is infinitely more customizable than Windows UI.

Just like Windows. Except Windows is less likely to introduce breaking changes.
PS: I wasn't talking about security, but these days if you don't do anything reckless Windows is fairly secure for daily usage.
