Win10 compared to straight win8 (not 8.1 or whatever it was that fixed 8) is far superior in some ways. I get people don't like either (I'm a dedicated win8 hater myself), but I would gladly take the win10 UI any day over the horrible failed experiment that was whatever the whole "Everything As An App! No Start Menu!" bullshit they tried in 8. Having your start menu replaced by a full screen app list is the absolute dumbest thing ever and I am so glad we've moved on from that dark age.

Also, what was so bad about Vista? I may have some rose tinted glasses, but I don't remember it being that bad

Me too, Vista was alright for me.

Are you implying that macOS is the best OS, because its arrow is the highest in the graph?

Then, why it has ads on start menu?

And half of the settings moved from old control panel to a new crappy UI settings. At least commit and move all of them.

I never find what I am looking for in there, without opening and closing a bunch of windows. I swear they regularly move location of some settings. Search function is pretty bad too.

Never had any ads in 10 or 11

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Then what are these?

I also remember seeing Candy Crush appear mysteriously without any prompting…

The colouring is shit, MacOS turns red at its peak. So, was it good or bad at that moment?

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think 11 is pretty great from a technical standpoint. The only real issue I have is modern standby...I miss having laptops that actually go to sleep and aren't dead a day later. But that's a fight I've given up on.

Now...the ads, MS accounts requirements, tracking and telemetry, the pre-installed bloat like News (a glorified clickbait aggregator), Movies and TV, Office, etc. make what is technically fine into a garbage experience.

Used to be able to create a list of file path shortcuts that are visible when you right click the file explorer icon pinned to the taskbar. The shortcuts I made in a previous version of windows are still present and functional. But it can't add new ones. Best it can do is add another file explorer icon for each new shortcut.

You can still drag excel files to an Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, and it adds them to the single list of individual Excel files "pinned" to Excel.

It just doesn't let you add shortcuts to the pinned file explorer icon anymore. I had a whole workflow based on being able to quickly and easily access a handful of commonly used folders and ms office files. Makes no sense to remove useful functions that already worked.

Afaik you can still download tools to revert to win10 taskbar. Not that I disagree it's super dumb, I didn't update for a long time due to the force merged taskbar icons. If I wanted to use gnome I'd use gnome. I want my 27 inches of real estate used, not to dick around with animations.
