↩  lyicx developments in software will require new os bollocks shit

extended support for 8.1 ends on 2023 on i suppose youre right (but also wrong because people could make unofficial patches and apply them to older versions of windows and get themselves support support for next-gen software)

Quote

↩  lyicx sure theres patches for 9x and xp and vista and all that bollocks but that wont ever really last

they could last, if a lot of people care about those operating systems.
vista? maybe not because of the performance issues that were encountered during its time
there may be patches for 9x and xp though

i think the only GOOD thing about 11 is that some things wont be completely dependent on file explorer.

↩  lyicx personal preference

the point of this thread IS personal preference

↩  lyicx i dont know what evidence you have to suggest it does more tracking. out of the box 10 does a fair amount

theres a feature called "telemetry". get used to it. a lot of microsoft products also track you now, so i dont see why it doesnt have more tracking.

↩  Alco_Rs11 The taskbar sucks balls. I don't like how it's centred and really not customisable

customization isn't one of windows' perks. get used to it.
(you can send the icons to the left using settings (or registry if settings isnt your thing) or you can center it. i prefer mine at the left. it looks good and requires 0 effort)

↩  Alco_Rs11 the forcing of microsoft edge on people

did you mean: the forcing of more bloatware on people? internet explorer works perfectly well, and it's very lightweight, so i dont see a reason for microsoft edge to be preinstalled

Quote

↩  Alco_Rs11 the ridiculous system requirements that will likely force people to buy new hardware if they want to use 11

built-in security was basically non-existent prior to windows... what, xp? anyways, i understand microsoft's decision to force security, but that should be optional. it shouldnt be completely REQUIRED for the installation.

↩  Alco_Rs11 the dark mode still is inconsistent af.

always has been.

↩  videogamesm12 I would without a doubt go back to Windows 7 with its beautifully-crafted simple Aero interface

i would too, except i dont have any way to install it (no image, no computer running windows 7... blah blah blah)

the big context menu thats optimized for touchscreens is absolute trash
the explorer bar... well, at least it doesnt insult the other "windows" systems as much as the context menu
the taskbar being centered... well im sorry but im used to icons going left and everything else right
and you need a more advanced computer for it (if your existing one is a literal potato)
its also more sluggish than 10. much more.

i dont think its ready for release right now

tell me why or why not windows 11
(if you have the time of course)

sure whatever

↩  lyicx Why can't you?
After all, it works, and that's all you should really care about.

↩  lyicx When you're already used to Windows, and suddenly switch to Linux, you likely won't be. I personally wasn't.

It tells you the error, alright.
However, it may not:
Tell you what the error MEANS.
Tell you how to FIX this error.
Tell you what went wrong.

There's not really much debug info for you to work with in Linux, as opposed to Windows. However, Windows isn't the fastest, the most lightweight, the most customizable, or anything else, for that matter.

just curious lol

you do understand what i mean, right?

↩  UnderTails excuse me but why does quack owns the tfgu discord now?

Add this bot to every TotalFreedom related Discord.

Or else...

No one said no to an empty space where Infinity has space stations and portable labs.

Vouch.

Most of the kits don't work anymore.
That I know.

21.

What if Microsoft bought Discord?
Bye bye Discord
Say hi to Skype 2.0 (which will be an absolute nightmare)

@DL108#13257 Sounds good to me.
