Windows 11 is weird to me, I feel like I’ve only heard negative things about it but actually using it on a daily basis has been fine with a few tweaks. Using nilesoft shell and ear trumpet was basically all I needed to be satisfied.
That’s not really unique to 11 though, I’ve had to tweak things on basically every windows version. Whether that was classic shell with 8, or clover for tabs in file explorer for 7.
At the very least Windows 11 seems to have a more consistent design language across the OS. It feels a lot less half baked than the style changes they did on 8 and 10.
I understand the resistance to change, and the pain in the ass of moving to a new OS, but moving 10 to 11 isn’t that huge of a leap. Especially if you know what you’re doing configuration wise.
Having used both, I maintain that learning a Linux distro is, in the best case, an equivalent amount of work to configuring Windows 11.
Explorer Patcher if you need a vertical taskbar. Otherwise MS has been gradually adding the most requested features.
Not justifying what’s missing, but a lot of people didn’t understand just how big an overhaul they performed on the core UI. Explorer file manager and the main taskbar GUI have both updated, and the taskbar GUI is a new one from scratch that carries over 98% of features.
This kind of deeper update was long overdue, and makes the experience using 11 on a mixed use tablet a lot nicer frankly, bringing 11 closer to a unified tablet/desktop OS as it needs to be.
I’m not a back-end wizard so I don’t know shit, but windows 11 is fine as far as my daily driver goes.
