it feels like the natural result of corporate agile. dozens of teams doing little pieces with one dude making each smaller part all on their own. then someone just overrides the merge rules. and now i’m stuck trying to follow the ravings of angry lunatics all talking at once. i just want the os to shut up and do what i tell it to do. and i absolutely do not want it to start pretending its alive with some stupid chat bot ai nonsense.
I hated having to do everything in a window. The desktop wasn’t really a thing.
My default browser at work is Chrome. Microsoft Teams and Outlook open links in edge anyhow. I wonder why!
MS Edge, its a good browser. But fuckin hell does Windows love to shove it in your face every chance it gets.
Use MSEdgeRedirect to use your default browser.
The fact that it isn’t open source and costs money to use. I actually like Windows over Linux even as someone who has written Linux kernel drivers for a living, or maybe because of that but the fact that I can’t poke around the code and improve the system is annoying to me.
It’s also why I’m working on a project to develop my own OS from scratch that has a better design and programming interface than POSIX and Linux respectively and is easy to use like Windows. It’s not an easy task but certainly a worthwhile one IMO.
Put my PC to sleep, then i go to sleep. 3am rolls around and my PC turns on and sits at the log-in screen.
This seems to be an issue only after windows 7 for me. It can’t be updating because there’s nothing happening when i check on the windows update, and it will do this all night until i unplug the damn thing. Then i get a couple months of this issue not appearing.
Why in god’s name does it rearrange the order of programs on the taskbar?
Clicking on a URL in a non-browser app? Surely you want to see that in Edge and not your default browser.
I’m so sick of this. Didn’t they catch a lawsuit over this the first time and have to make it so you can uninstall it?
Yeah and every file type opening in edge for some reason? Annoying.
I have to use it for work, and I hate how links to other apps, say a Teams meeting, dot open up the app. Rather, they open a new tab in a browser, only to open the app while leaving a blank open tab in the background. It’s just sloppy as hell.

Welcome to the New Microsoft ___!
I am so tired and this is only my 4th year.
Bill Gates, except when Ballmer was there.
The 3 days of settings adjustments, debloating, de-spyware-ing, regestry edits, group edits, service edits, power edits just have a functioning OS that doesn’t bottleneck/ruin your espensive hardware you paid for.
Web browsers are beginning to feel that way these days.
Meh Firefox is very customizable but not a ton of settings really for critical privacy, compatibility or optimization.
Chrome and all Google services can get fucked for just the amount of sites, pages, sub-accounts you have to navigate thru JUST to turn off their tracking bullshit.
I think I have my android and PC as fully isolated from any Google account, software, service or operation short of going full Root of phone and Linux. Which, Linux is on my todo list to go daily driver-Linux and 2ndary boot drive-Windows.
For now tho, local user Windows account and all google accounts and apps either un-installed or disabled on the phone.
Settings templates with user.js are Firefox’s saving grace.
Best of luck on your 'nix journey.
No touchpad gestures, terrible window management and a non-unix shell are the big ones for me with the Microsoft account AI bullshit being a close second.
Did you last try windows 20 years ago or something? Windows definitely has touchpad gestures and robust window management. Dont get me wrong though, I don’t like windows anymore either. Switched off it a year ago
It has them but they are not 1:1. And you and I seem to have different definitions of “robust window management”
I guess we do, because I have not seen any window management improvements at all when switching to linux.
OneDrive, I fucking hate that thing. Rest I can tolerate but OneDrive really grinds my gears.
‘contact your IT admin’
Great suggestion when you are the IT admin, lol
