      Yup. Imo made the entire ui so much worse all in an effort to blur the line between macos and Windows.

      Windows 10 already required 3rd party software for me to use it. Windows 11 was a complete no-go for me from the moment I saw it. I’m so glad my OS drive died last year, it was the push I needed to go Linux only.

        GTFO here! That is sooooo much more inconvenient since it will block the view of anything you have open on that screen, and it just feels completely odd. wowwww.

          You can move it back to the left, but I agree that MS seem to be trying to make it look like iOS for some reason

        I can’t believe this is still not possible to do. I could create an endless amount of panels and move them anywhere I want in Linux 20 years ago, but a corporation with a three trillion dollars market cap can’t do that in 2024??

        This is one of my top two reasons for not using Windows. Wth can I not put the panel where ever the hell I want?? So freaking frustrating how they control what you can do just in terms of user preferences. Or like, why can’t I click on whatever window I want regardless of a prompt being open. “Oh you took a screen shot and want to save it, but you need to look at the site to remember the name? lol, fu.” Unbearable.

        Fyi, the other top reason is that they shove a bunch of garbage in that I don’t want, like that Cortana bs they did a few years back. No thank you.

          I always wanted to use Linux, so it wasn’t really anything that Windows did that drove me away, it was more I could finally play the games I wanted to when Windows 11 came out and needing to change my bios settings to upgrade was enough of a nudge for me to say fuck it.
