I'm clearly on the #Windows11 Insider Program #Experimental channel, latest build as of 5/15/26, yet I am not seeing the new #Taskbar options in Settings > Personalization. Is the A/B experiments still a thing? Really wondering why I even bother anymore.

Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

Heute wieder so ein "Linux auf dem Desktop ist einfach nur genial"-Moment, mit einer eigentlich unbedeutenden Kleinigkeit (die mich aber optimal unterstützt):

Launcher (Panellauncher / Starter / Anwendungssymbole) lassen sich auf der Leiste (Panel) individuell gruppieren, z. B. nach Thema oder Usecase. Das fördert die Übersichtlichkeit, schafft Platz, vereinfacht und beschleunigt die Nutzung.

Just heard Microsoft is making the Win11 taskbar movable.

It took them nigh FIVE YEARS and (I'm not exaggerating) I moved Win10>Linux a year ago as they had publicly "identified" the ask when the OS had been in beta, and hadn't implemented it by early 2025. This was the proof to me that the canary was dead.

Yeah, there were copilot and ads, but without using the OS I couldn't imagine how it affected usability.

Not going back, though.

🖥️ Who knew the pinnacle of #innovation would be reinventing the #taskbar for a system that already has one? 🙄 For $9.99 a year, transform your #macOS experience from "meh" to "also meh," with a searchable launcher no one asked for and a desktop switcher that’s apparently not just command-tab. 🚀
