The audio panel is definitely an issue, but Ear Trumpet solves it. I know relying on a third party solution for a system function isn't ideal, but Ear Trumpet is too good.
Idk, I like the new start menu, especially once they added folders to it. I rarely need to see everything in my start menu and having my most used stuff right up front is nice. The only thing I wish is that I could completely get rid of recently used files on the bottom half.
If the menu nesting is referring to what you get when you right-click something, then yes. That can die in a fire. I don't know who thought that was a good idea, and it's wild because many people thought it was. Something like that doesn't make it to production before passing teams of people.
How does this fragment anything? DLSS and Nvidia's ray tracing tech have always been exclusive to their own RTX cards. Nothing changes in that respect. Ray tracing, as a whole, isn't exclusive to Nvidia, but their tech has been.
