[β] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 3 years ago (6 children) Win 12 is obligated to be good due to the "every other version of Windows" rule, which has been true forever. permalink fedilink source hideshow 12 child comments replies: [β] afunkysongaday@lemmy.world 13 points 3 years ago (1 child) Let's agree on "less bad". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 years ago I was speaking relatively haha permalink fedilink source parent [β] PixelProf@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 years ago (3 children) Windows 11 has tabbed file explorer, a package manager, it's quick, the interface looks nice and feels nice, and it's been really stable for me. I don't know where the complaints are at, it's been great. All they need to do is regress all of the ads-in-your-OS stuff from 10. Bring back the start menu that doesn't hang for 30 seconds looking something up online before showing you your installed programs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) (They're not going to regress that) (They'll add more) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] PixelProf@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago Yeah I probably should have added the /s to that one. permalink fedilink source parent [β] nooo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Glad to see Microsoft has finally caught up to Fedora circa 2009. permalink fedilink source parent [β] MickeySwitcherooney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 3 years ago Honestly I just assumed it was bad because of the forced update from Win10 thing lol. Well, that and ads baked in. permalink fedilink source parent [β] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Is Windows 11 worse than 10? I honestly haven't noticed much difference (after moving the taskbar icons to where they belong on the right). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] FoxBJK@midwest.social 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) The issue is that Win11 requires a computer with TPM built in and that only applies to computers from the last couple years. Just speaking from personal experience, most of my friends with PCs can't upgrade to 11 even if they wanted to. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] BURN@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I use the tpm requirement as a backup to make sure Microsoft wonβt update my pc.

The old computer I had at the time actually couldn't use TPM, so it was a concern, but I bought a new one that came with Win11 installed. I agree that was unnecessary on their part. permalink fedilink source parent [β] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago* It might as well be the same but with more features moved to registry permalink fedilink source parent [β] synceDD@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Whats wrong with windows 11 permalink fedilink source parent [β] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -2 points 3 years ago 8 was better than 10 permalink fedilink source parent [β] WildeGreen@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 3 years ago (3 children) Windows 11 was better than 10 aesthetically tho? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) I'll take an ugly OS that works properly over a gorgeous one that doesn't any day of the week. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I agree.

Very little in my case, so beauty is very low on my list of priorities for an OS of all things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 1 point 3 years ago I don't play games. The only real customization I do to how the UI looks, is to put it in dark mode. Because of these, and some other factors, the OS UI is front and center for me. So, I would like a beautiful, yet highly usable, OS. Something that just works well for my use cases, and looks good doing it. My preferred OS may not be your preferred OS. And, you know what? I like that. It means that we get a choice in look and feel, we're not all stuck on the same OS, and we get to learn how others use computers and other people's preferences in UI. It's awesome! permalink fedilink source parent [β] Perfide@reddthat.com 12 points 3 years ago Vista was better aesthetically than Windows xp, it was still dog shit. Also, heavily disagree. Literally the only good thing windows 11 did imo was finally unifying some of the settings that were split between the settings app and the OG control panel. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Orygin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Reddit hivemind is back to downvote any opinion that they disagree with. Like the other commenter said, I prefer functionality in place of design. Even though I found 11's UI far more polished, the UX is a disaster with yet another refresh of elements that didn't need any changes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 years ago Without unneeded changes we would have the modern desktop experience permalink fedilink source parent
