Isn’t there a Linux distro for Mac?

It’s a fucking mess I tell ya. They put all the effort into spying on their users instead of making the actual OS function.

The rounded corners thing is definitely all about individual taste. my brain just likes to have the whole space filled. The rounded corners for me feels so… 2000’s Windows XP/ Early GNOME.

The start menu thing, yeah you can configure it. And no, before Windows 8, I think, there used to be a Gao of a few pixels around the start button if I remember well.

And as for the start menu tiles, again that’s all individual taste I guess, but I sincerely think that ergonomically speaking, it is better.

And I really don’t get it.

People were used to the multi-level app menu in Windows 7 and before. The tiled menu might have been too much of a change. But it made sense. Less frequently used applications could have smaller icons and more commonly used one have bigger icons so they’re easier to find and click. It was great ergonomically speaking.

The people were wrong! lol

Ah yes, it does happen when I have an extra monitor. I’ll try it next time.

Thanks!

I have Win 11 at work and I hate it so much for so many reasons I don’t even know where to start.

I know it’s the trend right now, but I hate rounded corners for one. I like having my whole desktop real estate to be used. And the shrunken floating taskbar is a GUI ergonomic nightmare. I want to just throw my cursor into a corner without looking and click with the confidence that it will open my start menu.

Speaking of which, my task bar keeps freezing every day I use it so my system tray and even the time is never accurate.

The start menu is a fucking mess. I really loved the Windows 10 start menu with its tiles and groups. Now you have to manually pin everything, it’s all small icons and you can’t have them in groups. You have to create sub-folders to put the icons in, adding an extra click for nothing.

I hate that it comes with an integrated AI and I hate that it has this privacy nightmare “recall” feature or whatever the fuck that takes sreenshots of your monitor to feed its AI.

I went 100% Linux last fall with Kubuntu. I added a tiled menu and even added Windows 10 style window decorations to complete the look and feel.

With the latest advancements in Steam, Wine and Proton, which has been able to play every game I threw at it so far, it’s become such a powerful OS.

I’ve never been happier!

You’re not wrong.

Yeah the conservatives have fucked up our whole public care system. They bottleneck and sabotage to make it look like it’s not working, while subsidizing the private side at 100x the cost.

That’s 7$/day subsidized daycare until they start kindergarten.

Amazing !

Has anyone tried installing SteanOS or another gaming Linux distro on it like Bazzite, Nobara, Holo, or Chimera?

Do the wireless joy cons work?
