What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12? (kbin.social)

Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

It's interesting that you find the taskbar to be better in Mint, that's the thing I've had by far the most trouble with. Specifically the fact there doesn't seem to be any way to mirror the taskbar to all screens. You can't copy it from one screen to another either, you have to meticulously recreate the taskbar on each screen. Even then some elements can only appear on one panel so if you need to adjust sound level but you happen to have something full screen over it you're shit out of luck, either close the full screen application or go into the full sound manager instead. Then the taskbar only shows windows that are open on that screen too, which I suppose some users would like but is absolutely not what I want. I believe there was a "show all workspaces" checkbox but that either didn't work or doesn't include second screens. The best part is if you open a window on one screen then move it with keyboard controls in some cases it doesn't update the taskbar, so now your window doesn't appear in the taskbar on the correct screen at all but might show up on another.

Overall, not impressed. I need one taskbar that appears identically on all screens.

Needing to remount my Steam library from other drives every time I reboot is a tad inconvenient too.
