Yeah no, Windows 11 IS far worse than (current) Windows 10

I've been using Windows 11 for some time. Besides it's terrible AI features being shoved down our throats, what's different about it from Win10?

I don't see too much of a difference between the two versions. The AI enshittification is relatively recent.

For me it's the removal and change of UI elements. There is still no built in way to move the task bar to the top or side of the screen and to get a useful right click menu back I have to go into the registry and change a value. There is also the whole thing where you are forced to use a Microsoft account with no option to use a local account instead.

I guess the location of the menu never really bothered me but I can understand that for folks who prefer it on the side.

Admittedly, using a local account is a challenge though not impossible. But to your point none of these things should require registry hacks.

Besides the ones that they listed, I've also heard complaints about a lack of multi-monitor support and ads in the Start menu and login screen, though I believe the ads are only in certain versions of 11 (the home/personal editions, but not the more expensive company editions). I think the ads have also been limited to Microsoft products and apps from the Microsoft store - stuff like Word and Edge - but it's a really bad path that they're going down and it's only a matter of time until that becomes targeted ads to go along with their tracking and selling data.
