That’s pretty cool. Please give us our objectively-more-efficient taskbar layouts back and I’ll consider “upgrading” my desktop?
When I was offered a free sample, win11 ran slower and controls were walled off from the control panel and access instructions were behind paywalls. Also some of my games wouldn’t play.
Me also can’t stand the changed control panel UI. Most of the times I just hit WIN+R and type “control”
I have Windows 11 on my laptop but 10 on my desktop. 11 was a mess and is still a mess. Don’t get me wrong, 10, 8, 7, and Vista were that way too for like a year or two. But I feel like a lot of 11’s problems are not going to be solved by bug-fixing.
I am using windows 11 since the preview both for work (dev) and for gaming (although I switched to the steam deck as my main gaming platform) and don’t remember any breaking or blocking bugs. On the contrary, using bluetooth headset got a lot better and easier with win11. Which bugs did you spot?
Ech, I didn’t document them, and I don’t have a great memory for things that change. The one I remember off the top of my head were the explorer.exe crashes several times a day, and the fact that the UI still behaves freaking weirdly.
I’m curious, how is the centering of it any less efficient than left aligning it?
When the start menu was left aligned, you can move you mouse infinitely to the lower left and still click it irrespective of the initial location of the mouse (There is a term for this concept in UX design called infinite space or similar). For similar reasons, the close (x) button is in the upper right corner.
However with the start menu in the center, you have to accurately place the mouse on the start icon and there cannot be a muscle memory since the movement depends on the initial location.
Also you can left-align win 11
Install Linux, done.
Maybe if you leave the comment in a few more places, you’ll contribute something
Will do, thanks
