@Techaltar I'm kinda with Matt here. I do like some changes they make to W11, but I still haven't recovered from loss of W10 Start menu. The new menu is so laggy and buggy, while providing significantly less functionality, and it's been a really hard hit after they removed start tiles.
I know there weren't many tiles, but I used it for clocks, todos, calendar, weather and other things, so it's incredibly sad that I can no longer just press Start to see weather or time in US, for example...
@brawaru Did the tiles ever work for you? I tried to make them work but there was always a lag, they weren't 100% updated and I couldn't trust that it wasn't showing me a state from, like, 6 hours ago which made them pointless to me. I liked them on Windows Mobile but never got around to using them on the desktop
@Techaltar they did work fairly reliably for me, and updated real-time, like world clocks all would refresh immediately a minute began, todos refreshed on updates. The only issues I had with them is when I managed to crash Explorer or otherwise improperly restart it, then the tiles were just app icons. The correct way to restart Explorer, as it turns out, is to go to Task manager, select Explorer and click Restart, not Exit it with Ctrl+Shift+RMB on taskbar and then Win+R explorer... 🫠
Windows 98 SE was loved. ME was hated and XP was liked. Windows vista was hated, windows 7 was liked. Windows 8 and 8.1 were despised. Windows 10 was reluctantly accepted.
Now Windows 11 is unbearable. I have no doubt that once Windows 11 adoption is significantly greater than 10 they'll make Windows 12 worse than 10 but better than 11.
It's a pretty genius "boil the frog" method for enshittification.
@Techaltar the corollary of that is: windows just get worst at each new version.
Jokes aside, I don't use Windows since XP. Is there any major improvement since then?
@Techaltar yeah i feel like ive also noticed this. the same people who hated windows 10 want it back now. maybe because every new version of windows shows everyone a whole next level of terribleness. although i feel like with windows 10 and windows 7, it was n-2 since windows vista and 8 were pretty hated to begin with
