Window adds desktop.ini randomly too

Linux adds .demon_portal files all over my computer too.

That's not Linux doing that. It's the demons in your hardware trying to escape. They normally don't cause too many issues luckily, but if you don't close the portals occasionally they can take over your system.

Yeah, those tend to be pre-folder settings for the File Explorer.
Like View options, thumbnails and such.

It's been a while for me, but I think there was something specially for thumbnails too. You might find one if you go into the folder options and set a folder to optimized for pictures/videos and add some to it.

Huh, never noticed that. Probably always thought that was just part of the program/files needed.
