        They added android apps, they’re slowly switching to Linux. It’s going to be EdgeOS, maybe based on arch instead of gentoo? :-D

          Nah, they won’t. Then devs will start supporting Linux and windows will lose their one advantage over Linux: compatibility

            Nah, they are. Satya Nadella was having an important medical procedure done when he noticed all the lab equipment still ran on xp. Not compatible with newer versions, staff said. Horrified that he was hooked up to machines that any black hat fucker could compromise in a heartbeat, he had an epiphany. Windows as it is now is a blight on the land, and the path of linux is the only way forward. High as fuck on morphine, Windows 12 was conceived: Linux based, open source, split taskbar fuck yeah, with blackjack and hookers*!

              • By hookers, I of course mean one of those dancing stripper taskbar viruses middle-aged men love downloading. Now pre-installed!

          Sure, which side is default (or other small nuisances) might be preference, but if you take away the option to customize (which was once there) the critic is valid IMO.

          I don’t actually use Windows 11 so this is the only thing I know to complain about.

        That’s not the worst part. The worst part is how I can no longer move my taskbar to my second monitor. It is now locked to my first.

          System > Display > Personalization > Taskbar > Show my taskbar on all displays

          Back in my days people were expected to at least try before shitting on software they didn’t like, eh.

            But mate, that doesn’t do what I want. I want to be able to move my single taskbar to my second monitor. Not have a taskbar on every single screen. Back in my day people were expected to read a thread before commenting.

      Each new version of Windows is just Microsoft trying to further tighten the screws on its captive userbase.

      They’ve not brought anything of real value to customers in years.

      outside of the more neutral/negative features people mentioned, some of the major additions is better windows snap management (presets for organizing windows on a screen, and adjusting window sizes), and tabbed folders. It’s also meant to be used for windows subsystem for android for android app usage, but you can technically do that with windows 10 with some workarounds.

      The only interesting feature is WSL2 with the possibility to “natively” mount Linux filesystems.
