Before installing Linux, I had originally planned to dual-boot on my main PC, but somehow a gaming rig from 5 years ago isn't good enough to run windows 11, which is ridiculous.

Win11 is 4,5 years old and still feels like 10 builds away from going gold. It feels thrown together.

    I just want to know why I can only click on the date on the main monitor to view the calendar. Why? It's such a workflow killer when I'm scheduling something and trying to check what day of the week it's happening on. Takes multiple clicks on the non-main monitor before I realize what's happening every time

    I spent probably 5-10 minutes trying to figure out how to get into the old "add a printer" thing from control panel so I could manually install a USB printer for someone yesterday. The new version in settings was presenting a list of every device on the network (corporate environment so 100s of devices) and doesn't even have a search field. Completely fucking useless.

    Regularly, file explorer just stops being an explorer for me. Window sizing and buttons work, but I can't select files or folders. I have to exit file explorer and relaunch it.

    also - for whatever reason File Explorer occasionally decides to think about life and stuff for a minute or two upon opening random folders - it just keeps loading even if there's like two files inside 2mb total.

    I found when my new system bogs down it is ai.exe hogging resources. Which is part of the Office install. I go into the folders (2 places) and delete ai.exe aimgr.DLL and a few others and the system behaves better till an update from MS restores the files

    I've got this creeping suspicion that Microsoft really wants everyone to embrace Mint but is too shy to just say it like it is.
