Win 12 is obligated to be good due to the "every other version of Windows" rule, which has been true forever.
Let's agree on "less bad".
I was speaking relatively haha
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.
(They're not going to regress that)
(They'll add more)
Yeah I probably should have added the /s to that one.
Glad to see Microsoft has finally caught up to Fedora circa 2009.
Honestly I just assumed it was bad because of the forced update from Win10 thing lol. Well, that and ads baked in.
Whats wrong with windows 11
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).
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.
I use the tpm requirement as a backup to make sure Microsoft won’t update my pc. Made sure it’s disabled in bios and I don’t even get prompts
Oh yeah, forgot about that. 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.
It might as well be the same but with more features moved to registry
8 was better than 10
Windows 11 was better than 10 aesthetically tho?
I'll take an ugly OS that works properly over a gorgeous one that doesn't any day of the week.
I agree. But I'd rather have both a gorgeous OS that also works well.
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.
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.
Without unneeded changes we would have the modern desktop experience
