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.
7 wasn’t really like that. It was more of a vista second edition.
7 was buggy when new like all the rest. I remember. Your argument is like saying that 10 wasn’t buggy when new because it was 8 second-edition. But it was buggy.
8.1 was fairly not buggy it was equivalent to seven. Until Windows 11 Microsoft had alternated core updates and feature updates. So XP is a less buggy version of 2000, 98 had 98se. There are a couple outliers like me and Windows 10, but Windows 10 is kind of like 8.2, and they abandoned the dos based kernels so I me never got a second version
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.
I believe this is Fitt’s Law
Also you can left-align win 11
Yeah most people don’t realize this
A lot of the supposed technology inclined people do, when it is literally 3 clicks and a scroll away in the most obvious place to look for it.
Install Linux, done.
Maybe if you leave the comment in a few more places, you’ll contribute something
Will do, thanks
