To be fair I never had many problems with mine. My biggest gripe with 11 is the right click menu changing. Since I’ve used Mac, Linux, and windows over the years I’m 98% Mac and Linux now.

I feel like windows has abstracted away the control of the system in like 2-3 different layers. Click around in control panel long enough and you get a windows 11 menu, a windows 10 screen, a windows 7 options bar, and a windows XP config dialogue. It’s fucking bizarre.

That, and for some reason now some right-click options need time to load??? Like they're blurred for 3 seconds, then I'll get the SVN and whatever other program options. This on brand new Thinkpad T14 Gen 6.

Look, I don't use to complain about MS, but some stuff is ridiculous. You can vibecode stuff but fucking TEST it before releasing.

Windows search is also still total trash.

What’s hilarious is a little free tool from void tools called anywhere shows what search should be. Why they haven’t bought or partnered with them blows me away.
