I love how microsoft never learns their lessons.
Well that looks like pure garbage. Glad I no longer have to deal with it.
Windows 11 gets a new all apps screen in the start menu*
Not my home screem!
Looks like they're going full speed ahead towards their mobile/tablet/TV/PC unishittification.
I believe they want you to seamlessly transfer stuff from device to device, regardless of which, where and why.
It looks like the little windows you'd use to organise your applications in Windows 3.1
These people are stupid fucks.
they need to bring back a windows 2000 classic style start menu
I actually liked how the start menu works in Win10, with the rearrangeable/resizable tiles you can put wherever and categorize however you want. That was closer to what's pictured here, but this is still worse.
How do I get that back?
(...I actually liked Windows 8's Start Screen as well. I understand this puts me in the minority. Everything else about the Win8 UI was a five alarm dumpster fire, but I liked having a big colorful full screen app launcher that could be arranged in any way you wanted.)
bunch of fucking interface designers so deep into their shit that they're forcing everyone to chase the UX meta and play ranked competitive UI when 90% of everyone is just trying to be casuals and play what they're accustomed to so they can unwind at the end of the day
"yes well you see moving every interface element on your computer to a totally new location results in a 0.0001% improvement in the average user's workflow, therefore: bite the pillow, changes are coming, we're the experts you dumb schlubs!"
It's awful, but KDE will copy it one day.
