I'm a windows user. I have windows on 3 computers. The only devices that don't run windows are an ipad and an android phone. I don't understand why I'd want the windows 11 experience anywhere I wasn't forced to have it. I heard they may soon restore some of the features they took away from the start bar, though.

You’re not forced to have it on the 3 computers you do have it on, so saying you don’t want it elsewhere isn’t an assumption anyone can make. I doubt the developer has you specifically in mind when they developed this, though.

I have windows but not windows 11. I'll be on 10 until they stop supporting it, because of all the unnecessary UI changes in 11.

The START MENU? TEN YEARS? My friend, how about simple file management? They've been at that for DECADES and still can't get it right? "Oh, you dragged something over the top of a network drive in Explorer, let me waste the next 3-5 minutes trying to connect to that drive for you". Or how about this: "Oh you plugged in a USB drive that was setup as a live CD? Let me crash for a second and mash your MBR to bits". How…

I've been using Windows for 30 years and haven't encountered either issue you've described.

I've been using Windows since 1998 and I can confirm all the issues described. The last time I enjoyed hanging Explorer was yesterday, and it was exactly because Explorer was trying to open a network link that I didn't ask to open.

I'm enjoying how simple some of this actually is. Here's the full implementation of VS Code for example: https://github.com/yashash-pugalia/win11-svelte/blob/main/sr... It's just 44 lines of code - it works by opening a window with an iframe that points to https://stackblitz.com/github/yashash-pugalia/win11Svelte?em...

Chromium only I guess. Bah.

I still can't believe how buggy the start menu has been since Windows 8, released TEN YEARS ago.

I don't use windows daily but was trying to add an additional keyboard layout (US English) to a family member's windows 10 PC today.

Searching for such a simple thing in the control panel was infuriating to say the least. I finally found it, random clicking in every potential places and it was in the most unintuitive place you could think of.

You would expect "keyboard layout" search to bring helpful results but it does not.

Works fine for me in Firefox.

That kind of attitude leads to user blaming. I have fond memories of the workgroup network scan freezing my computer for extended durations in the xp days

Or just download a large file, choose save as on a drive other than the C drive because it is too big, and watch IE proceed to fill up the temp dir on the C drive, completely ignoring the fact you asked to save on another drive.

Or if you had enough space, still waste minutes copying the deleting the file...

I switched to Linux entirely (but may reinstall windows as a second OS for some games if I get the wild hair...), and while it can still be buggy at times here and there (Arch Linux, so go figure), it's usually my fault, and it can be remedied most of the time.

Still a thousand times better of an experience than Windows.
