I actually rather like win 10. Win 11 I'm holding off on until they fix the taskbar.
If they go subscription, I go Ubuntu.
I used StartAllBack to fix the Win11 taskbar, works well.
I haven't had any problems with the task bar recently, they fixed most of the problems I had with it and it's worked pretty well for me.
I dock my taskbar to the left edge of the screen with full text labels. Afaik win11 still doesn't support that.
You can just set win 11 to win 10 Taskbar. First thing I ever did. I haven't minded win 11 at all. Unlike win 8 which was so much trash.
I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the centre position of the Start menu, haha. I do use Stardock's Start11 to have the layout of W10, because the W11 menu is trash imo. But having a very wide/large screen, it's way nicer to have the menu in the center.
I don't get why they removed the option to place the bar anywhere you want tho... That's always a step back. Even if I don't use it personally, I can see why this would be a massive pain for others.
I used a Macbook for 10 years so perhaps I'm conditioned to it at this point, but I also like the center taskbar. I use it on my personal Win11 laptop at home and I think it's perfectly fine.
On the other hand, I support IT for a large enterprise of users who are mostly computer illiterate and I am dreading our inevitable upgrade to Win11 if the taskbar is not preconfigured to the left-side setting. Expecting a flood of tickets from people wondering why their buttons aren't in the right place.
I'd suggest try openSuse, it's way better than Ubuntu. I used to use Ubuntu but prefer the desktop feel and rolling updates.
