Since I installed PowerToys[0] and activated Run, I barely use the taskbar to start any program. It works like alt+f2 on Ubuntu, which is the experience I find most useful. [0] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

Powertoys feels like one arm of Microsoft to fix windows’ shortcomings due to the other arm via an independent app rather than fixing the actual component because doing so is too fraught with politics and incentives.

Microsoft's org chart makes this pattern evident: https://ritholtz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2011.06.27_o...

You know, if you are looking for a job, that's what I love to see. Curiosity, passion, and just pure software craftsmanship. Fuck CVs, gimme this.

Based on the amount of salesmanship happening in the readme, I think its sfe to say the author knows this already :P

Looks great, but not very realistic. The real Win11 start menu doesn't open immediately, it glitches in various ways for 3-4 times before actually working. Realism 7/10

I use https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher to fix start menu and taskbar. Can't imagine using Windows without it.

Is Microsoft becoming Bethesda? "Don't bother fixing bugs, someone will make a mod that fixes them"

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 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.

Me too. Ubuntu 22.04. It's come a long way since I last Linux in... 1999 and 2003! Haha!

Now I'm even considering FreeBSD as I friggin' love that OS. It's rock solid, predictable, and fast. I just need to make sure a few things can be made to work, even if it's via the browser, like Zoom.

There is something with this idea: recreate a desktop environment in the browser. I have done it in the late 90s (obviously in PHP), and until today they show up regularly. Once MacOS, once windows, in svelte, in react, whatever. I thought it/I was brilliant then but nowadays I cannot even grasp the idea on why I did that. Never seen any in production for anything, and the only remnants like movable panels of propert…

Synology's Disk Station Manager recreates a desktop environment. https://demo.synology.com/en-us/dsm

It does work amazingly well. I expected the typical Linux/unix ui for simple stuff, console for configuration kind of setup with my NAS.

Turns out things just work ALL THE TIME. I don't remember even having to tweak stuff. It just works.

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 d…

I seem to get a link to the right settings place after typing "ke" into the start menu on Windows 10. "keyboard layout" indeed does not work, but "keyboard" or part of it does.

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...

best part is you can nest the website in the vs code preview window

I managed to nest it three times then it stopped working (vs code window was empty). Winder why is there a limit

I kind of find the excessive usage of emoticons and such distracting.

Stand back! (I do this with ♥, 🩷, 🩵, and 🩶) 🫸🫨🫷 If you have a 🫎 would it rhyme with a 🪿 when there were more than two? Probably shouldn't be a 🫏 to dang; the code just hasn't been updated to filter out the new naughties.

I have no idea what you've typed there. All I see is a heart and three boxes. And it doesn't seem that the boxes are decodable either. Whatever it originally was has probably been irreversibly replaced.
