I've been on and off into linux for years, but finally decided to go full in on my main. Now using windows is HORRIBLY unintuitive. Its really gone downhill. Xp was peak.

    This is the first computer where I built it with Linux in mind, and man is it a mostly seamless experience. While I also have a soft spot for XP, I would honestly say 7 was peak. Everything was more or less exactly what it said it was. I do IT, and man, is it frustrating trying to navigate both control Panel, and the settings app.

    Sometimes when you click on an icon or a link in control panel, it brings you to settings, so you have to type it into the address bar to get where you want in control panel.

    I did like 7 a lot too.

    The new win 11 ui is utter shit. This is why I like linux, they aren't going to completely change the damn settings application completely and even if they do, you can grab another distro that didn't. Plus win11 randomly removing all your right click context menu options. What the actual fuck. First couple days on my shit work pc was me undoing everything win11 did.

    Lmao, the context menu back to the old one is also the very first thing I changed on my work PC, Along with removing start button search. But for the rest, I completely agree, nothing is going to change without MY input

    Also curious, have you found a good windows explorer replacement? The shortcuts now not actually representing your user folder drives me nuts. I'm currently trying onecommander out, just wondering if you had a suggestion for something different though.

    Agreed on your last point. That's when programs still had proper tool bars and keyboards shortcuts, before the "ribbon" shit started to fuck over everyone's muscle memory.

    It would have made sense for MS to start with "finger painting UI" and then work towards the power user UI - but the other way round makes zero sense to my poor brain.
