This will put an end to the "yeah of the loonix" meme once and for all.
...says increasingly nervous man for seventh time this year.
just re-release windows 7
Microsoft don’t give a shit about end users. They make their money with azure and b2b office products. Stop caring about a dumbsterfire that is an experiment garden for ltsc release of the os. Even itoddler vista skin with 8gb of memory snappier than this shit with latest beast hardware.
>>1089199437 times? that’s a persistent meme.
>>108919829Sorry the trust is broken and I’ve made the switch to Fedora.
>>108919829is it still impossible to move the panel (""taskbar"") to the top of the screen?
>>108919991https://www.neowin.net/news/windows-11-is-getting-movable-taskbar-and-microsoft-revealed-an-early-look-at-it/Soon. 26H2 will be MS back to form. 27H2 will be like Windows 7

>>108920112alright, after FIVE FUCKING YEARS they managed to bring back a feature. At least it's somethingThe fact that he are silent about this being a restored feature rather than a new one is not surprising
>>108919829Used a network monitor today, only Firefox-ESR using bandwidth while I was browsing on my Debian laptop. I used wireshark on windows once, 100 different services using bandwidth constantly sending data everywhere. Why do windows users like having all their information sent to various agencies so much? Microsoft is literally using the gathered information from your device to create an AI mimic of you that they can torment or play with in various ways. They deduce your entire life by how you move your mouse cursor, personal photos and from your browsing habits ..etc.
>>108919829Are they getting rid of the electron bullshit and preferably going back to a cohesive, elegant, and functional UI like in windows 7 (win32-based)? I doubt it but I'll accept getting rid of the electron bullshit
>>108919829>With the merging of Steiners pull request all will be alright..
>>108919829Did they?.. Change start position again? Is it going to be in the corner again?>>108920191It only means one things for me: need to upload more dick photos.
Desperate?
>>108919829Thanks to AI, linux will never die.
thats nice but the ribbon on new explorer windows still takes multiple frames to render.
>>108920633>Thanks to AIpicrel. They're going back to greatness.
A lot of people on this board pretend like you have to just use 1 OS, I've been using macOS, GNU/+Linux and Windows for 2 decades and 90% of you sound fucking braindead with some of the takes.
>>108921232I use macOS on my mac mini m4, linux on my main (gaming) desktop and windows on my work laptopI'll say what I fucking please
I looked through the 26H2 changelog and i really don't see any features that's really gonna reverse much. Not sure why you're over-hyping it desu
>>108921264Prove you can say what you please by finishing>N
>>108921486basketball american
What about the retarded fucking right click behavior where you have to click "show more options" or whatever the fuck to see the full menu? Do we get full-menu right-clicks back? Fucking completely retarded decision with that.
I'm gonna pause updates for 4 weeks.
>>108921501Nope, programs have to adapt to that for whatever fucking reasonHonestly I don't care much since it's one fucking 5 second tweak to bring the old menu back and there's no benefit to the new one
>>108919829No, Windows will NEVER. Unless they finally become posix compliant, switch to the Linux Kernel and just use "Windows" as a DE + Service. MacOS, Unix, BSD, Linux, Android etc. Are all pretty similar. Windows is actually the odd one. You should ask yourself why it's even there. EEE. Most people use Windows just at work or at home for gaming. And Microsoft NEEDS Linux, they had to implement WSL and became one of the biggest Kernel contributors and donators. Their whole infrastructure and AI relies on Linux.It it weren't for gaming, people would simply use a MacBook for programming and creative stuff. Microsoft knows this and they actually don't care, because the were early adopters of the cloud. They will lose the Desktop game in the long run, but they secured their survival with the cloud.
what's going to break catastrophically this time, login manager?jeets will be jeets.
>>108921501shift right click
>>108919829Can't put an end to shit if it keeps tracking its users and phoning home.
>>108921486>prove you can say what you please by saying what i tell you
>>108919949I can't image how hard the retarded jeets at Microsoft would fuck up Windows 7 if they worked on it.I wish Microsoft would just give up and release the source code of Windows, and let competent people work on it, for free.
>>108921536>all OSes should be UNIX clonesNo thank you.
>>108920035>27H2 will be like Windows 7...except much much much much much much much much much muuuuuuuuch slower. With a last generation 16 cores CPU + DDR5 and an ultra fast SSD you may manage to get almost half the performance you had with Windows 7 and a Core 2 Duo + DDR2 and a mechanical hard disk.
toy os for gaymerz
>>108920128>death to all tech ceosThere is clearly a group of people, above the puppet-CEOs, that is pulling all the strings. Why else would all CEOs be jeets and why would they all do the exact same shit?
>>108921536No, the truth is that everybody has to use Windows because the software they need can't run yet on WINE.And by the way, Windows doesn't have to suck. Windows 2000 was very good. And Windows 7 was fine after a few hours of settings to remove all the stupid shit.
>>108921616To be fair that has been always the case.I remember putting together a PC for my dad who refused to move on to Windows 7 for some specific tool and still just somehow had XP drivers and it was night and day for basic operations. Explorer was stupidly faster, there was no point of comparison. There's a reason why Vista took a shit early on.
I want the taskbar to be thin like my gfs waistline, not moveable like her mood.
>>108919949cool it with the anti-hinduism
>>108919829Jeetmond is done goofed. The redpill all along was GliNUx
>>108921793Kek
>>108921568Microshart devs can shift+right click my nut sack.
>>108919829Tried it, but it fucks with the widget text so I went back
does the start menu still take up more than 1 third of the screen and in the middle of it by default?
>Driver Overhauls: Microsoft is testing fixes to prevent Windows Update from automatically downgrading user-installed hardware drivers (such as GPUs or Wi-Fi) to older versionsThis is still an issue?
>>108919949do they even have the ability to maintain something like that anymore?
>>108919829Good. Get filtered faster.
>>108922464lolno
>>108919829enjoy your age verification, goy
>>108919981kde plasma is consider one of the "bloated" DEs and a linux distro running it still blazes circles around shitdows even on a high end pc
>>108919829unironically I want normies to keep using Windows,they deserve it
>>108919829Get yourself to a hospital, you're ODing on copium.>>108919943>Manjeets aren't human.
>>108921793>anti-hinduismwindows 7 still gets used by jeets lmao
>>108922751Well duh, they need to use something that actually works. How do you expect them to keep "developing" windows if they're using a broken mess like 11?
is the winui native rewrite for the startmenu and every other screen that was vibecoded reactslop out or not yet?
>>108921786It has thin mode too
>>108920316Big Papa Pump?
>>108921232>GNU/+LinuxEat shit.
>>108920316Ballmers drunk again let him cook!
>>108922721myself as well but its too late.
>>108919829When do I get this?
>>108921232>GNU/+LinuxLmao based
the new start menu forces all your folders and programs in itcant even disable them without 3rd party softwaregarbage design
>>108919829>this slop update will end the year of loonix!!ii!!
>>108923860Here I will help you out
>>108921232GNU/Linux, yessystemd/linux, hell no
>>108923884So you have not even tried itThat does not hide them. It just changes the form its shown. Its not possible to completely hide them without 3rd party software that alters the start menu
>>108921591reactos is still unusable trash :)
>>108924007If you don't want anything there at all why are you even using the start menu?
>>108924018I use it for my pinned shortcuts, dummyNot to see folders and shit I never visit
>>108924007>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M GOING INSANE
>>108923860>>108923884>be microshart>try to copy kde>do the absolute worst job and fuck it upLMAOOOOOOOOOO
>>108924026I dont have to see any of that in previous update.Now its cluttered with shit that I dont need to see
>>108924034what do you mean exactly?previous updates didn't let you hide the recent files list
>>108924076Except it did. I just rolled back and only show my pinned programs and folders as usual
>>108919829My god this looks even uglier than current w11
>>108924076>>108924084hereI rolled back from the preview update and got my old start menu back.no recents or other bullshit because they can be disabled from the options menu
sorry but I'm not installing Windows 11, I'm just not.
>>108924158You can scroll through pins now though
>>108924158You still have that recommended thing unused, not letting you cover it with pinned applications. It's just a waste of space.Is it the colors? The icons distract you a lot?
>>108924168>108924168yes, the "recommended" is annoying bloat, but its the best that we can do on windows default UI.I want my start menu UI to be clean as possible, with only the mandatory shit that I need on itRather not use any 3rd party software to fix it, those might randomly break when windows updates
>>108924177>Rather not use any 3rd party software to fix it, those might randomly break when windows updatesIt takes a second to tick on a box that does this -If- it breaks just take another second
>>108924185Hell just by default Windows breaks things. Today my PDF files started opening with edge instead of the PDF reader I assigned for no good reason. If you're using Windows you're already used to this nonsense.
>>108924189sounds like arch linux experience
>>108921667>the truth is that everybody has to use Windows because the software they needTrue, but then again: "Most" of the Software people want, is actually 3rd Party Software and has nothing to do with how great and feature complete Windows is. (except in house products like offic365 etc). People use Mac or Linux because they want to. And people use Windows because they "have" to.
>>108924205yeah except this one is actually real.
>>108924208It's sad, right now I use all three. macOS for me is just right with the exception of games. Linux covers most of that. But I'm forced to use Windows on my work laptop.
>>108919949Pseud
>>108921464being able to move the taskbar to the side of the screen
>>108924444You're hyped about a feature they intentionally got rid of
>>108921629Because life and economy are complicated, I don't know the exact mechanism but it's not hard to imagine some, a wave of immigration might have happened that I don't know of or is just the introduction of the modern visa system There are also no /pol/tard reasons for why there is an overrepresentation of jews in hollywood, overrepresentation of blacks in criminal cases, overrepresentation of flyover state white trash among heroin addicts and so on. Life is complicated, deal with it polnigger
>>108924460Yeah. I knew they would bring it back eventually.
>>108924472Man you're so, so, so easy. So malleable.
It's normal to windows releases to suck first and then eventually become good after few years.Back in the day this was done trough service packs.>"But you hated the new windows and said you would never switch!"Yeah because the original always sucks but then becomes good over time.
>>108924484They are the one being malleable, changing it to my liking. I'm not budging :)
>>108924498I'm going to provide you something and every 2 years I'm going to take away features and reimplement them and you're going to be excited about it
>>108924034>the start menu.... shows programs to start?>OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD I'M GOING INSAAAAAAAAAAANE>HELP ME RICHARD "FOOT FUNGUS EATER" STALLMAN
>>108924026>>108923860Nice, one less third party tweak to worry about. Can't wait to get the update.
>>108924158The summer update will let you resize the new start menu and show pins only.
>>108926166is it proper release, or preview?
>>108919981If they make their money off enterprise customers then why do they keep shitting up their OS? There's literally 0 reason we aren't still on Windows 2000 + security patches.
>>108921222Copilot incelvergies kneel to the Microsoft PC Manager toolbar CHADBVLLS
>>108924470Will you still be saying this when you live in squalor?
>>108926803>Will you still form independent opinions being an impoverished peasant fighting for scraps among each other on the whim of the onions oligarchy?I probably still would, my children however wouldn't and it'd be all your fault, nigger
>>108919829windows gets worse and worse but linux can't run exe so it will never win
>>108926870I had to do some retarded hurdles just to install a pirated game from an isolinux is so retarded, that it doesnt even have a native support for iso files in 2026
>>108927122> native support for iso fileswhat does that even mean?fuseiso and bchunk say hello. and also, emulating cd-rom drives via winecfg.if you're clueless, it ain't a linux problem.
>>108927385>proceeds to list dozens of not native things to open iso fileslmao
I've been watching a few videos about this and is this really it? It makes like 3 fucking things open a little bit faster. This amazing thing that nobody's going to notice.Doesn't help the 3 or 4 channels talking about it are all indian.
>>108920035>still only one row thoughI need 2-3 rows for my taskbar
>>108922464Everyone who worked on that version is already enjoying a good retirement, has too much money to give a shit, or is already dead.
>>108919829Too late, I have already switched to Linux and Mac
>>108919829I can't wait to see what are they going to break this time.
>>108919829People should look at Linux's rise as a good thing. Not because Linux is any good, but because it is forcing Microsoft to drop some of their stupid shit and aim for another Windows 7 moment. They fixed ME with XP, they fixed Vista with Vista SP2 and they fixed 8.0 with 8.1. Pajeets were around the whole time. I can't believe I'm on a timeline where I'm actually defending MS as an Apple user, but Linux is and always will be a meme for the unemployed and disabled people. At the end of the day, it can't run meaningful software. It's got <5% market share for a reason.
