Windows 11 has reached mosquito levels of annoyance; my hatred for the former is reaching the same level as the latter.

🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟

(will block defenders of either)

@afreytes Damn, i might get blocked by one of my mutuals haha.

I refuse to use anything but W10 at home, but using 11 at work has changed my opinion on a few things.

Was there a breaking point for you, or a recent W11 experience that further cemented your viewpoint?

@NaClKnight I feel like it has been death by a thousand cuts. Win11 feels like a HUGE step back from Win10, IMHO.

There are so many QoL stuff I can do in 10 that 11 simply does not allow me to.

Couple that with me trying Linux again after decades, and finding that it runs as fast on old-ish laptop as Win11 on a new-ish one.

Worse of all, new pc has 32gb ram and FireFox runs noticeably worse than on a 8gb Linux lap.

Worst, all the inefficiency inherent in Win11 seems sus, like why would they?

@NaClKnight I'm not even counting MS push for AI (groan) or practices that may seriously affect privacy...

I have to use Win11, because work. But if I didn't, I pretty sure I would have already uninstalled it for 10 or for Linux.

@afreytes The simple removal of the ability to dock the toolbar on any edge of the screen guaranteed that I'll stay on W10.

W11 in many ways feels like its GUI was made by people who don't like windows. Perhaps MacOS users? I don't wanna assume. But it feels like that.

But then there are tangible improvements like integrated ARGB/RGB controls, which are long overdue.
