windows 11 somehow broke context menus and almost nobody talks about it
ai so annoying that the fact that every action is hidden behind a shitty, slow iosesque menu you have to reach around to get what you want is less interesting
we beat gnome devs with sticks for inventing brand new ways to torment desktop users, but microsoft do it in a much more banal and straightforward way and get away with it
the most hilarious part of the new context menu is that it's gotten just as cluttered as the old one. it's just slower and uglier now with 0 upsides
@halva WinUI in general on 11 is slow as hell. I don't know how Apple can render Liquid Glass and have it feel faster than Windows which does less eyecandy-wise yet is slower.
@halva this is because linux users have options besides gnome and windows users do not have options besides windows so they shut up and take it
@halva Windows is generally where a lot of software is supported so a lot of people take it, and people on the Linux desktop side tend to have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with their desktop which leads to more drama when things don't go their way (see also: systemd DOB field)
@halva
The simplified rightclick menus are one of those win11 problems that people noticed at launch, but ignored when the people making "debloat" scripts figured out how to disable them.
@halva It's so atrocious. There's a registry entry you can use to change it back, but even the old one was bad. All they had to do was make it configurable and it would have been good πŸ™ƒ
@halva I patched the shit out of it with an https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ file at installation (have to put it inside the Main/Root Folder of your windows installer) and https://winaerotweaker.com/ to make it look like 10 and also don't fuck with AI and Telemetry
