When WSL2 first came out, some losers on /g/ were cheering that it would "make Linux obsolete". Four years later, I think it's safe to say they were kinda missing the point. (vlemmy.net)

the worst thing about windows is that you can't natively change the window manager or desktop environment. that is so backwards. they even removed the ability to move the taskbar wherever you want. this is so weird.

Cant move the taskbar? Do you mean in windows 11, cos its possible in windows 10. If so i have just another reason to be glad i didnt make the move

[–] iwolfking 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, Windows 11 removed the ability to move your taskbar around, can only be at the bottom of the screen now.

There's a popular patcher application for this problem called ExplorerPatcher

We should not have to fight back the OS of our computers.

Indeed, but "your" computer is merely loaned from mr. Nadella

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The computer is yours. The OS is not.

They also removed the ability to disable window stacking in the enterprise version. When I got Win 11 for my home pc I use it just to force myself to get it instinctively.

[–] Setarkus 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, window stacking as in, one symbol on the taskbar for multiple opened windows of a browser for example?

[–] unphazed 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. In Win 10 it can be disabled. In Win 11 Home there is a script that can be added. Not so for Ent though.

They removed the classic theme and I'm still pissed because you can't quite get it back.
