Windows 11 was an absolute downgrade to my Windows 10 experience. To the point that I went back to windows 10 in less than a day of Windows 11.

1. I can't ungroup the taskbar windows. So now I have to hoover the taskbar to see multiple instances of the same software;

2. Who the hell thought it was a great idea to couple all the commands like WiFi, power energy, etc under the same menu? On Windows 11 I needed to click the WiFi icon, select WiFi menu, select a WiFi to connect to. Whereas on windows 10 I just click on the WiFi symbol and choose the WiFi. I don't like my computer auto connecting to the Internet so I manually connect whenever I want and use this menu multiple times a day.

3. Speaking of great ideas, now all the right click useful stuff is behind a second menu... Pure genius move.

I know I can hack my way around these issues but I don't see the point of installing sketchy software or messing registry hacks to fix this mess. I will use Windows 10 until its end of life.

It's still Windows, we can tweak everything exactly how we want it.

I've been using 7taskbar for years, it's rock solid. ExplorerPatcher is a new requirement, works great and adds tons of features.

Maybe it's just me, but tweaking Windows extensively always feels like you're fighting against the OS.

I don't have these issues with my Linux installs.

You don’t uninstall snap if you use Ubuntu?

Uninstalling software isn't the same as installing new, different software that didn't even come in your distribution's repositories.

And, besides, a lot of people don't run Ubuntu, perhaps to get away from snap, perhaps to get away from systemd, or perhaps just because they can..

Most people do if they install a distro from my experience. It’s easy and it just works.

You never install more software in Linux? I certainly do, it’s why I got it. You can use this to make Windows “distros”. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactur...

I’m not a Windows user but it’s not fundamentally different, Linux can come bloated, Windows can be stripped or another version like LTSC can be used.
