Requiring a subscription to play Minesweeper is literally everything wrong with modern civilization
-
I got to a point where I no longer cared about not being able to play many games online. I deleted my windows partition and fully embraced the penguin.
-
Saying "kinda gotten worse" is unfair, it is actually "very much" to be precise.
-
Microsoft needs multiple lawsuits with the crap they've been doing lately
-
"windows sucks now"???? my guy it's been complete dogwater since windows 8 At Least
-
Whoever decided to downgrade features from every new windows needs to fired and locked up. Why do they keep removing features one after another?
-
Does it? I've been using Linux for years now. Windows 7 was amazing.
-
Who would have thought that we would ever mourn the days when Steve Ballmer was CEO of Microsoft?
-
meanwhile Linux gets better everyday

Windows 11 is a really big reason why I switched to linux. Microsoft pushing their services and putting "ai" everywhere is very annoying, not to mention it should be illegal in my opinion, considering how monopolistic it is. I don't plan on using windows for personal use until they back off and make it usable again. I don't see why anyone that isn't a hardcore gamer would use windows 11 over macOS or linux.

as a Linux user i can't resist the title of this video
-
they made windows look boring, windows 7 was a thing of beauty and still is, stuff just felt nice.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with windows in the past couple of years. One thing that I remember being especially bad was that certain versions of onedrive would delete everything on your desktop and in your pictures, documents, and other user folders if you uninstalled it. I tried to report this to microsoft as a bug but they gave me the equivalent of f*** off and removed the report and said it was a "false report".

I agree with the requirement of an account being pushed so hard is frustrating, and the operating system is generaly loosing great features. Its a shame Mac OS also includes some of the negitive points such as the embeded web browser. The telemetry / Increase in data collection that I see as the most intrusive.

I’m going to say something spicy: Windows Vista wasn’t actually that bad as long as you had stable drivers for it, and Windows 7 (which used the same driver model) was basically just “Windows Vista Second Edition”.
-
Meanwhile, Software Manager on Linux Mint offers 6 different Minesweeper games...free...no ads (I assume).
-
The centered task bar is such horrible design! It means none of the buttons' positions are consistent. You can't build muscle memory. The task bar is the 1 thing present at (almost) all times on Windows. It should be given the highest priority on UI design. And it should have the highest level of customization, so that screen space isn't wasted.

I am salty for Solitaire being replaced by awful stuff with flashy animations. Just give us WinXP style again. Teletubbies god mode enabled.
-
This is the reason I have already switched my personal computer to Linux and I am going to "downgrade" my work computer (witch needs to be Windows) from Windows 11 to Windows 10.
-
I think it’s time for the Linux revolution.
