my Windows 10 taskbar vs the Windows 11 24H2 taskbar... I hate this so much that it's unhealthy. They have removed all the hacks that allow you to make it smaller (other than paid apps like Start11) #windows1124h2#windows11
@ward God, they just keep making it worse. Every time I see Windows 11 I cringe.... I'm hoping that openshell doesnt break or die out because of Microsoft's lockdown bullshit....gonna make a lot of my friends' lives way worse
@casey I think open-shell will be ok because it's not just restoring legacy code that is still in windows. It's a new shell (if I understand how it works correctly). This is why Start11 also works. They don't rely on any of the legacy systems in Windows 11... But explorer patcher is broken because lots of the functionality they were restoring has been removed from the latest version of the OS. So, hopefully devs will start working on alternative shells... it'll be more difficult because it's all closed-source... but still.
@ward That's a relief. I have so many friends who are dreading upgrading to 11 but I'll point them all toward open shell....they're not power users but there's enough bullshit changes in Win11's interface that the'yre all very put off....and with one exception they all understandably cant or dont wanna switch to linux...i dont push it on them. anyway, cheers.
@casey I would prefer to be on Linux... but I end up fussing with the OS more than I end up doing stuff. OBS and wayland = nightmares! My pixel art program has major errors (it's the devs fault I think for not fixing the Linux build)... Then my music software doesn't work well... If I didn't have certain needs it would be easier.
