I have a very low baseline expectation on how mobile apps on my phone behave. They all go through various rates of enshittification and make UI changes every quarter so someone can justify their job or try forcing me into x feature I purposely avoid. When my desktop PC became another place for that to start happening, I bailed very quickly. Maybe saying “start” isn’t accurate, but god there’s just a parade of unsavory stuff now, like the search menu telling me something a chud senator is doing when I’m just trying to find the zip file I downloaded earlier. The only, only thing I have to hand it to Microsoft since W10 is the dynamic Lock Screen backgrounds. I sometimes like seeing chipmunks or sea otters as a surprise

microsoft has been extremely good and "generous" to small and non-profit developers by giving away all this poo poo for free but now every Microsoft product is slowly getting ads, Windows, VSCode, github, looks like they're trying to cash in

Windows 11 is 90% rebadged Windows 10. Why are Windows users so deathly afraid of change? Anyway, I daily drive Endeavour OS for work, so I don't deal with Windows shenanigans.

Vile_Nihlist666 posted:Windows 11 is 90% rebadged Windows 10. Why are Windows users so deathly afraid of change? Almost like computers are a tool that lets you do things quickly and when the basic functionality of the computer changes it has the potential to impede that, especially for users who do non-standard things who have options taken away from them by updates because the feature is no longer considered worth supporting. Just kidding, I framed this as a hypothetical scenario, but it's actually a reality that so many people have been burned by that they assume any time a software program updates it is not to make it better for them; and they are right most of the time. I will flip the question: if 11 is 90% 10, then why should we upgrade? And of course the answer is that there's no practical reason to do so, which means that MS, Apple, etc. do this by gating functionality like directx on the new version to make the upgrade mandatory. frumpykvetchbot posted:everything new is terrible I recommend to you Windows 10 LTSC: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/ltsc-what-is-it-and-when-should-it-be-used/ba-p/293181. Long term service client machines get security updates and basically nothing else, and don't come pre-bundled with all the poo poo that you would normally have to spend a lot of time and effort stripping out of your computer. I use it on my laptop and it's been great.

The thing that annoyed me most about Win 11 was the right-click menu where you have to click twice to see all the options. Once I found a regfix to show the Win 10 style context menu it was much better.

No. 6 posted:Office has been rolling out Windows 11. Most people seem unhappy but are also complaining about superficial items, commonly about the taskbar defaults. Every windows since XP, maybe 7, seems worse to me.

One thing windows seem to have been doing since windows 7 times is when you open file dialog, to save or open a file. You open the dialog window and start navigating to the folder you are looking for, then suddenly you jump back to the folder that was selected when the dialog window opened and have to start over. loving annoying.

ever since installing windows 11, opening file explorer freezes all windows UI stuff (start menu, right clicking desktop, etc) for about 5 seconds while it loads the sidebar on the left with the folder shortcuts to the downloads dir, etc. very good OS, love that it freezes at some core level to load a list of 5 folders

My coworker had it upgraded and he had to do like triple the clicks to do basic file operations we do constantly. It's annoying the first time and then every time after that just feels like another wasted moment for no reason. I saw there's a fix though so I'll let him know if he hasn't already done it by now.

well the poo poo i'm product owner for (which in guess registers COM stuff in the registry when it installs?) worked fine in win10 22H2 but my boss tried installing it on win11 for shits and giggles and it turns out that when you try to launch our thing it just sits on some kind of on demand windows component install progress bar forever.  so that's a slow shitboat sailing my way whenever win10 goes out of support
