- DaiPlusPlus 5mo agoI challenge you to name an actually useful feature that was added in Windows 11 and not present in any previous release. Difficulty: QoL features added to undo the effects of bad design changes in Win11 don’t count, such as “compact view” in Windows 11 File Explorer.
- pjmlp 5mo agoEasy, one use adminstration tokens, useful to anyone that cares about security. Here is another one, enforced application sandboxing and signing, comming up in a future update this year, year another useful one for security. Yet another one, ability to actually use Windows containers without having the same kernel version between host and guest, useful for Windows developers. Three for the price of one, there you go.
- joveian 5mo agoEh, the real genius of Windows 11 that Linux lags behind is the seriously first rate emoji picker :).
- HappMacDonald 5mo agoI would be happier if it really could search and pick every unicode character. I would love to be able to nab "not equals", "approximately equals", "supsercript 2", etc.
- yellowapple 5mo agoThe Unix/Linux desktop world has had compose keys for multiple decades now for that exact sort of thing. <Compose> + <=> + </> = ≠, <Compose> + <~> + <~> = ≈, <Compose> + <^> + <2> = ², etc. It's how I get em—dashes and “smart quotes” and such into whatever I type. Only downside is that defining custom sequences is… less than intuitive.
