• Emojis on windows 11 look so silly and childish I hate everything about this OS, fuck you microsoft for lying to me about your shitty “operating system”.

    But yes make anything you want from me into a copypasta 😉

      Haha its literally the “not everyone has an iPhone meme”

      • It’s the most broken OS I have ever had the displeasure of installing. Very telling that when they entice you to switch to 11 the first thing they say is you get a whole new look. That’s the only thing it has going for it (and even then it’s buggy).

        Seriously making me consider switching to Mint right away and delete this POS, but I have a couple programs that can only run on Windows.

          Glad to know this whole look thing, another reason to not “upgrade” to W11. I’m seriously considering Mint too, maybe when improvements to proton and wine will happen.

          • Lol you’re the poor victim of my windows 11 rants tonight, but I’ve had it for I think 48 hours and in that span of time I experienced:

            • having to reinstall my audio driver because the effects didn’t work (aforementioned EQ and loudness equalisation)
            • notification centre not responding until I restarted the PC. Just wouldn’t let me click to open it.
            • taskbar completely freezing for a few minutes.
            • system sounds coming out of mute or 0 volume despite me putting both. I ended up disabling them entirely through the control panel.
            • not finding really simple stuff that used to be in the weird settings panels that existed alongside the control panel from windows xp. Now it’s even worse.
            • sound management being super weird to fiddle with. It takes on a more mobile appearance despite being on PC. Lowering the volume of a single, specific app is increasingly complex.
            • discord not linking my bluetooth headset which worked perfectly fine on windows 10. Outright made firefox glitch out. Wouldn’t launch my steam games. All sorts of weird stuff just from turning it on and trying to use it in discord.
            • Completely deleting part of my desktop icons because of their shitty useless virtual desktop “feature”.
            • speaking of desktop, I was greeted with completely messed up icons. I mean my desktop config was completely broken and I had to manually rearrange it.
            • speaking of the desktop, there’s a super weird margin at the bottom before the taskbar. Like weirdly tall. Can’t seem to get rid of it.
            • having to run third-party software I found on github to debloat the shitty apps they installed like kindle or amazon. Obviously they don’t tell you about those when you “upgrade”.
            • having to hunt down privacy settings to tell it I don’t want ads in my fucking start menu, despite having done that on windows 10 already.
            • you still can’t remove edge as a default browser for some stuff.

            And that’s just what I remember.

            I really needed to get this out. I cannot stress enough how bad windows 11 still is. It’s been out for a while and I didn’t get it right away (I knew I was gonna have to if I was gonna stay on windows eventually) because launches are always bad and riddled with bugs. But this thing’s been out for almost a year and I figured it must have been fixed by now. No, it has not.

              Hundreds of thousands if not millions of unpaid bets testers, I absolutely love the modern capitalist software industry 😍😍

          • Yeah and I’ve had to fiddle with Mint. Like for example installing audio packages so that I could get an equaliser and loudness equalisation (which for some reason is not a default on computer? If you have it disabled, that’s the reason spotify is super loud and youtube is super quiet on your computer). But I feel at least with linux you can do anything you want, you just have to find a way. With windows it’s more and more restrained with each update. Also linux doesn’t spy on you.

            Mint was super easy to pick up and also their virtual desktops work. Windows 11 introduced them but there’s literally no use for it, all it does is switch between open apps and windows. If you delete something from the desktop in one, it deletes the shortcut on the other too. Literally no point. I liked the gestures too, if you put your cursor in a corner you can make it do whatever you want.
