Currently my biggest gripe with it is the lack of a clock on the 2nd screen's taskbar. Also the context menu on the taskbar was gimped. It's literally just 1 button right now that says "Taskbar settings." Small annoyance for me, but that was my favorite way to get to task manager. The clock thing bothers me much more. But overall, just small annoyances for me with the update.

You can customize Linux distros to look exactly like XP.

Got it installed in my new laptop and maybe I just don't know any better, but I like it. Looking forward to the feature that'll let me natively run Android apps on it.

Nah, people are just being drama queens about it, as usual when a new version comes out. It has some major issues to work out, but it's not nearly as bad as people like to pretend.

Win11 will be pretty great right about the time Windows 12 appears.

You mean aside from the 20% decrease in CPU performance with Ryzen CPUs, of course

People keep saying it's easier and things are more compatible but I tried a couple years ago and I couldn't even figure out how to get everything set up for Runescape -_-

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-windows-11-slows-cpus-up-to-15-patch-coming

many articles i've read suggest that microsoft and intel have been working together to optimize the OS specifically for intel processors, which apparently has fucked over AMD. they claim they'll fix it, but we'll see.

RuneScape 3, right? They have a snap package for it

or also the AUR if you're on Arch

I don't know if those existed a few years ago but this looks like it might be easier. I could never get video card drivers installed right either though.

Turn off all the Visual Effects under Performance Options in Win7 and it looks just like WinXP and runs better.

Win7 was the last version of Windows built exclusively for desktops. That's when the OS peaked.

I miss any interface that had real definition to everything instead of just being flat and featureless.

Well I'm so stupid that when I did try to experiment with Linux, and then decided to revert, I wound up reinstalling Windows... to my regular hard drive instead of the SSD it was originally on -_- Couldn't figure out for the longest time why my computer became so slow.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think it is possible to turn off all the visual effects and the tablet-mode in Win10 also and revert it to a WinXP-esque experience (actually, even more like Win95 as I remember it - and I can't remember if I ever used Win3.x or whatever). I seem to remember discovering that most of the additions are actually like layers over the original OS, which is still present and accessible.

Can't be positive about this, since I'm using a Win7 laptop atm and have my Win10 workstation in storage.
