I've been on insider (dev I think) for a while now and I can't say I've noticed that. About once a day I get a two second chug that causes audio and video to stutter but I couldn't tell what causes it and the only super annoying thing about it is that it kills the audio on Elgato's crappy capture program

Goddamn not having the ability to just drag and drop explorer tabs to an existing window or drag tabs out to make their own window is a bizarre limitation, how could it not launch with this? This is really basic stuff.

How robust is Windows Subsystem for Android? Can you use it as a Bluestacks replacement for playing Android games, or is it mainly just a developer tool?

Games run like buttass in it, Neural Cloud was unplayable. Google's own solution works better but has a very limited selection (and I don't know if you can sideload). Better to stick with BS/LDplayer for now.

The part where it remembers where DisplayLink monitor contents are and puts them back is loving invaluable if you (like me) have a laptop you regularly connect and disconnect from docks or have a monitor you need to power cycle occasionally.

I wish that worked at all for me, two monitors and one can take d-port, doesn't matter how I configure the fuckin things or connect them, after they turn off for power saving it shoves all my windows onto monitor 1 even with "remember where they were" set. Also sometimes the minimize animation goes to the wrong monitor and while not actually a problem it does annoy the hell out of me.

Followup - the minimizing thing no longer seems to happen, and oddly enough apps end up on the right screen but only coming out of sleep. If the monitors just shut off for inactivity (which they do..prior to sleep) then everything ends up on monitor #1. PersistentWindows does at least solve it but, it sure would be nice if it worked properly without.

Well that's computers for ya.

Have they STILL not fixed the windows security center bug? I’m not on my PC so I forget exactly what it is. But all of my fully up to date windows PCs have an alert in Security that something is turned off.

Getting a 13700K so had to update to Win11. Oh, well, not really a big deal, except that I absolutely hate taskbar icons grouped without labels, which is the only option Win11 currently gives you. I see that it's allegedly in the pipeline for the future but who knows when, and the only third-party programs that do it seem to be paid apps, so... which of those do people prefer, and is it worth using one at all/using one in the time before Windows natively supports it again?

XFCE has basically been 95% the same the entire time I've used it since 2008, albeit with some sanding off of edges. That's both its strength and its weakness. They seem like they're basically strained to the max keeping up with toolkit changes and trying to get over to Wayland (newer Linux backend for GUI rendering), anyway.

KDE is pretty good and is where I'll migrate if I have to switch to Wayland before XFCE is ready for Wayland. I've never been able to get GNOME 3 and using it has always been miserable for me. I don't click with Mac OS X in the exact same way. :shrug: It's just a different paradigm that doesn't work for me at all.

Yeah plasma is pretty good these days and gnome had been a spiralling poo poo show for like a decade and a half more
