I love how microsoft never learns their lessons.
Can write reskin Windows 11 to look like 95/98?
Cuz that would be cool. Just hide all the bullshit. Have a functional desktop again.
Windows 11 gets a new all apps screen in the start menu*
It looks like the little windows you'd use to organise your applications in Windows 3.1
Not my home screem!
they need to bring back a windows 2000 classic style start menu
Well that looks like pure garbage. Glad I no longer have to deal with it.
These people are stupid fucks.
bunch of fucking interface designers so deep into their shit that they're forcing everyone to chase the UX meta and play ranked competitive UI when 90% of everyone is just trying to be casuals and play what they're accustomed to so they can unwind at the end of the day
"yes well you see moving every interface element on your computer to a totally new location results in a 0.0001% improvement in the average user's workflow, therefore: bite the pillow, changes are coming, we're the experts you dumb schlubs!"
It's awful, but KDE will copy it one day.
I actually liked how the start menu works in Win10, with the rearrangeable/resizable tiles you can put wherever and categorize however you want. That was closer to what's pictured here, but this is still worse.
How do I get that back?
(...I actually liked Windows 8's Start Screen as well. I understand this puts me in the minority. Everything else about the Win8 UI was a five alarm dumpster fire, but I liked having a big colorful full screen app launcher that could be arranged in any way you wanted.)
Thanks, I hate it
Had to spin up a virtual windows machine the other day and was just honestly appalled at how bad the desktop experience is these days
i guess they couldn't find a way to not make it look fucking awful
