Windows is easy to use if you don't care about privacy.
It also needs to be said how god awful the ui is. It's not necessarily the worst layout in the world but it's also clunky and slow as balls. It's almost as if it's designed to slow the user down so people are focused on how slow it is instead of its other problems or soemthing. The ui buttons in a fucking 3d game on the same pc respond quicker than windows 11 ui does.
KDE on the other hand is so goddamn fast that stuff loads faster than I can click. I literally don't have time to use Windows.
Can’t even move the taskbar to the top of the screen
The worst part is their excuse for not doing it. They're under the impression that not enough people care about it, so it's not worth implementing, and in explaining that they make it sound like it's some great effort to make taskbar-related context menus pop up from the top instead of the bottom. Literally just having the volume or whatever menu pop up in relation to the top instead of the bottom. It's the craziest fucking thing I've ever seen, especially since like five different free apps and a couple paid ones already have done it. A few hours worth of coding and testing is apparently too expensive time and money-wise for literally Microsoft to bother spending.
A wonderful experience they say. Jesus fucking christ. I haven't had a "wonderful experience" since Windows 98 and that was largely because I was 12 and didn't know any better.
Win98 sucks balls big time though. It's just DOS with a UI, unstable AF.
All Windows sucks balls big time, like I said I was 12 and the only other OS I experienced before that was mac when it was still black and white and whatever the hell was on the apple II
I liked it on the side in Windows 10. With widescreen monitors, horizontal space is cheaper than vertical space. Doubly so when you go ultrawide.
You can with Windows 10.
Okay? Windows 10 is EoL next year. Why reference something that's literally dying next year like it's a valid alternative? The current product is Windows 11. You cannot move the taskbar without modifying shit that you shouldn't need to modify (registry).
I linked you their documentation showing that they're EoL'ing Windows 10 next year... You say I don't know what "literally" means. Are you daft?
EoL Oct 2025, is "literally" next year.
I'm going to say I understand the word quite well. You on the other hand might not understand how to parse data much at all.
Edit: Think about "EoL" say it slowly in your head... End of Life... If it's at the end of it's life... it's......
LMFAO! What a baby. You tell me that I don't know what words mean. Then when shown that I understood and used the word properly you run away. End of Life is literally (Yes using the word properly) Windows KILLING windows 10. So I'm correct in stating that it will be dying. That's that.
Dude, is that necessary?
Probably not, oof
For me, it is just too ugly
The windows ui is very ugly. Uglier than the windows 9x one even. Their ui design peaked with Vista and 7.
Well, there I disagree a bit 😂😇 but design is very objective
We can agree to disagree. I don’t find any of the main Linux DEs good looking and think windows is way easier to use than any I’ve tried.
