Same for me. I can't stand the weird keyboard combinations and I totally hate that I need to watch a 1 second eyecandy animation when I put a window in full screen.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the stupid animations. They also happen when moving a window to another virtual desktop, or when you minimize it. Complete waste of time and they just cause me to forget what I was trying to do or why.
Also, on the topic of minimizing windows, I also hate the dock concept where all the windows are grouped together. I like having a taskbar with a full list of windows so I can see how many are open. If I see too many that are open, I start closing the old ones that I don't need anymore, which helps me stay organized. This is much harder to do with a dock instead. But once again, it's just a matter of preference!
When Microsoft forced the grouped windows in windows 11 I was crazy. Luckily some hobbyists in their spare time fixed what the multibillion corporation with hundreds of thousands of engineers was unable to do in over two years (explorerpatcher)
