Microsoft can not stop fucking up. I have to wonder what the turnaround is like on their UI teams that every god damn version needs a complete rework.

Holy hell, does every Windows 11 device require touch-based input soon or what?
Looks like they still haven't learned their lesson from the Windows 8 days...

After Microsoft Edge decided to import all my chrome passwords and data I decided to get rid of windows as much as possible.
I'm really enjoying my Mint 22 experience, the only downside is that I have to switch to windows to play Once Human.

I disagree. Microsoft is learning its lesson. It's just that the vast majority of people are teaching Microsoft that its actions are perfectly acceptable, or, at the very least, not totally unacceptable... so it continues.
Why do they keep changing the thing? Linux mint Cinnamon desktop has kept the same look and I appreciate that.
New manager need to prove themselves -> can't do that by small improvements -> dreams up major changes -> gets promoted -> repeat
Is my guess

not the home screem
if had to use windows at home i'ld screem too.
not too surprised they didn't change that.
It's not that new if it's been a thing on Windows 8.
So is Nadella redesigning all this stuff? Because it certainly doesn’t look like someone who is familiar with UI is doing it. Reminds me of when the CEO of Yahoo decided she could create a new logo in Corel Draw one night.

Cool, will this one work, or will it still go unresponsive and/or fail to find the app called the exact thing you typed?

oh yeah, now one can accidentally close the Start menu by clicking in the gap between the panels.
Linux and gnome pretty much gtfo of the way for me - as an OS should. I used to care a lot about what Microsoft did, now I couldn’t care less - F em

I was worried this was going to be a problem when I bought new Windows 11 laptops for my octogenerian parents to use. Fortunately, it turns out they never even knew how to use the start menu on earlier versions of Windows - they always just used the desktop or toolbar shortcuts I had set up for them. "The more things change, the more they never were in the first place".
Looks even worse than the one they had before
