- Pica_soO 10y agoIf i wanted to work to customize my OS, i would have Nuxed it.
- freehunter 10y agoIf you don't want to work to customize your OS, you accept the defaults. Those are your two options, and you've already ruled out one of them.
- khedoros1 10y agoOption 3: Use an OS (or at least OS version) that offers better defaults, while still running the software that you need.
- freehunter 10y agoWell then the OS that you're complaining about isn't exactly "your OS" is it? It's now someone else's OS and you're just complaining about something you don't even use.
- khedoros1 10y agoYou want to play word games? Fine. Scenario: I'm using X 2.0. The defaults are shit, and I complain. Nothing happens. At this point, I've got three options. Deal with the shitty defaults, customize the OS, or move elsewhere.
- marcosdumay 10y agoWhat you can't do, no matter what you try, is to make the Start Menu show all the programs you have installed. But attaching things there is nice. Even better than the KDE menu.
- swozey 10y agoI can't get over this. It doesn't help that the search (start>type) constantly doesn't find apps I'm looking for. It's to the point where I'm pinning everything to my taskbar. My workflow for a decade or more was to hit the Windows key then start typing to find indexed apps. It's almost useless to me now and I don't really get why.
- marcosdumay 10y ago> I don't really get why I got looking. It's an acknowledged bug. MS isn't even calling it a feature. It's just about as old as Windows 10, and unfixed.
- pzone 10y agoI'm not what the point is, given there are probably hundreds of bugs that somebody would say "This is the #1 worst bug in Windows 10." But for me, this is the #1 worst bug in Windows 10.
- nikanj 10y agoAssuming they're honest, and in their defence, MS has been much more honest and transparent recently: could you imagine being the one poor soul who's been working on that bug for almost two years now? People keep reporting that bug, and you keep ruling out possible explanations.
- marcosdumay 10y agoI've indeed seen that kind of thing happen, so yes, there can be some poor soul doing this. But it's still more likely that MS doesn't think Windows not letting you run your programs is a high priority problem.
