Making Windows 11 usable

[@dolfies]

I'd actually recommend StartAllBack over Start11. It brings dark mode to a lot of places on top of providing a hybrid Windows 11/10 taskbar that is the best of both worlds.

[@mikhailproductions]

I would recommend ExplorerPatcher instead of that as it's free and open source

yes, there is a real windows 10 start menu, but it has a kinda bugs, like in other languages some places aren't translated

8:44 Interesting that the old Windows 7 UI is still embedded within Windows, since you can see it for a bit when dwm is terminated. I wonder if they'll ever do an "NT 2", since Windows as it is, it's practically 4-5 layers of old OSes stacked haphazardly on top of each other, it really needs a refresh.

I used to install OldFileExplorer to bring back the simplistic Win 7 explorer look back in 8, 8.1 through 10.

With more blur translucent on every UI component, it's just dream come true to me (I guess I should've just Hackintosh my PC, ~~I wish~~).

Windows 10/11 also added a lot of bloat and unnecessary things to windows and removed old often used features. Like pretty much any functionality of the taskbar in win11.

[@i_love_games110]

@@redcrafterlppa303 first point is half true, they did purposely make it incompatible but then ported it to 7 for any developers that asked, second point is true for consumers(that does mean i agree), third point is untrue because windows vista had an updated kernel version to provide support for the mass features it added which makes it impossible to just reskin xp, fourth point is true but because microsoft purposely included it for older programs, windows 3.1 is a graphical interface for ms-dos, making it impossible for windows 10 to just be a reskin of it in the nt kernel

[@redcrafterlppa303]

@@i_love_games110 first i never said that vista is a pure reskin of xp. They changed a lot. But they still share a large codebase, for example parts of explorer and some icons from xp are in Vista (even in windows 11). Second yes 3.11 was a dos program. So what? Windows is the king of compatability. With the HELP of some programs you can still run windows 3.11 software in windows 10. Even some menues in those programs link up to modern menus. That's because until windows 10 the great goal of windows was improvement in speed and user experience while still being recognizable and easily usable for people coming from previous releases. All of this was thrown over board in windows 10/11 twice. Again I never said the kernel was copied an os is way more than its kernel its the rest of the os that expirienced reuse. Rewriting every menu every feature coming from a previous release wouldn't be practical anyway.

Here's a fact: Rounded corners are actually a waste of space. Because, since they are rounded, they take up extra space that square corners don't.

I wish there was a button at first setup or somewhere in the settings to change between the "tablet mode" UI changes, and mouse. Like it will ask if your input is mouse or touch, then the UI will change to have spacings or not have spacings in explorer, having a context menu or not having a context menu. and etc.

[@lukchem]

Oh god how can you do this to the computer? Windows 11 UI is so much better then the Windows 10 one. (Except the missing menu when right clicking on the task bar)

[@leblueawoo]

I can't think of a single way in which the win 11 UI is better. Clearly they chose fancy design instead of menus that aren't unnecessarily difficult to access.

[@fitmotheyap]

How much backward compatibility do you want? The Windows team: YES.

[@NormanF62]

Windows 11 is basically a reskinned Windows 10 so apart from questionable hardware requirements, its Windows 10 under the hood. Everything that worked in Windows 10 still works in Windows 11. This is the first OS where people can keep all their old software and expect it to run. Its not like backwards compatibility is a bad thing! Its the one thing Microsoft got right for once.

Whenever I tweaked Windows this way in the past, especially with third party tools, it made Windows incredibly unstable in terms of glitches or sometimes even explorer crashes. The only thing in Windows 11 I hate is that 90% of the taskbar is missing.

[@sameerhussain2579]

This TPM and UEFI requirement for Windows 11 is just BS for the most part, there may be a security enhancement but who cares. I have got Windows 11 in my 7 years old machine using registry keys to bypass GPT Disk, UEFI firmware TPM, and SecureBoot requirements and them too on a 2014 Insyde BIOS without losing a single bit of data or using a live USB. My laptop now runs like its MacOS on M1 MAX. In fact Microsoft itself provides documentation on their website to let you install Windows 11 without all these requirements. Which means all this hype is just a marketing tactic to lure laymen into buying new licenses and upgrading their hardware. Damn these 'sell me this pen' category.
