Every time windows comes out people say that. It’s hilarious. Why are you using windows 10? Why does 11 make a difference?
If you think change in tools is bad, I’d agree, I like consistency. Linux doesn’t offer that though - vim upgraded from 7 to 8 a few years back and caused major changes to various defaults. Rxvt recent changed and sucked tons if time trying to fix paste (they put some ridiculous “security” thing so if I pasted a line from another terminal I had to then press “yes” to accept the paste.
Developers are never “done”, they fiddle, they make changes, and they set those new changes as default because they consider it better.
Personally I like the fact my screwdriver or saw or hammer works the same way as it always has, I don’t like to think about tools, I learn how to use it, and then I can concentrate on other things. Developers break that.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI'm for reals this time. I only touch Windows when necessary. If a game I'm playing is supported on Linux I can go months without touching Windows.
- lproven 4y agoAgreed. For me, XP was the boost to get off the bloated platform. Ugly skins, mandatory junk apps (Movie Maker or whatever) that you can't remove, mandatory IE for Windows Update... So many little things. The one gain over Win2K was faster bootups/resume-from-hibernation. That I liked. That was the only thing. But it was clear that MS would play its usual trick: compel upgrades by killing support for the well-loved older product. So you couldn't really stay on W2K. So I switched. Mac OS X on the desktop, Linux on laptops. And frankly, the continued gutting of the UI in macOS, which has been going downhill since 10.6, is making Linux everywhere look appealing... Even with the shiny Arm chips...
