Like... Multiple different right click menus? No consistent and cohesive design language even throughout system or first party apps? Having to search online for an exe download page, download, open downloads folder, double click, click next through an installer? Then each app having to have its own update process, often that always runs in the background to check (or none at all)? Updates that happen when you don't want them to, take forever, and break things? Fucking ads everywhere? Web results in your start menu before actual stuff on your system Multiple settings apps? Sleep that doesn't work? Convoluted process for setting things as the default app? Dark mode that's only functional for some apps? It's actually incredible how much money Microsoft has, and how much more they spend than probably all Linux DEs combined, but they've still yet to fix so much low hanging fruit. permalink fedilink source parent
