Well you can adjust the taskbar in Linux!

summary: Because fuck you.

“Because we’re copying all the shitty parts of Apple like thinking we know what’s best for you but without any of the improved UX or ease of use.”

The taskbar is an outdated (30 years old) concept that should be extinct.

It was created to always allow the user to launch or resume their programs, even when they launch a fullscreen program.

I think it’s time to improve workflows. I don’t expect Microsoft leads the (proper) way. They are too busy including ads into the taskbar.

EDIT:

Let me share with you a talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fZTOjd_bOQ

However, based on Microsoft’s explanation of why Windows 11 doesn’t have an adjustable taskbar, it’s safe to assume that the company isn’t interested in pouring its engineering resources into pursuing something that won’t benefit a majority of users.

And yet they’re forcing a.i. nonsense into everything for who’s benefit exactly?
