I love Win11. Whenever I go back to previous versions they feel clunky to me now. I prefer the center-aligned taskbar and I prefer the start menu now. Search is good enough that I never have to go into "All apps" aka the traditional start menu which lists everything. I just press the windows key and start typing what I want and hit enter. Usually that just means 1 or 2 letters of the app I want.
That’s how I interacted with 10 yeah. 11 feels different. I think it’s my work computer switching that’s really forced me to confront its shortcomings. If all it ever does is launch steam games it’s fine.
Win 11 is dumb on so many UI levels. I feel stupider for using it. Am forced to at one workplace and it legit slows me down so much. Why the fuck is it auto pinning things to Quick Access?? And why is paste an ICON with no text???
It's the changing of things that don't need to be changed that pisses me off. So much of windows is muscle memory and now they're fucking with the basics.
