So when you first right click, there's a dolled up small menu box that has cut and copy, as well as 'share' and rename for some reason, and an option to compress but not an unzip option.

But then, if you choose 'more options', it literally turns into exactly the windows 10 menu.

Why not just keep the full featured windows 10 one there?

They probably realize an entire generation is growing up tech illiterate and smartphone addicted so they have to dumb it down.

Because new versions of the same thing serve only to create more issues for the devs to fix so they can stay employed

This actually true to my surprise. From personal experience and articles I've read, the younger generations are actually fucking stupid when it comes to computers.

The big trend in UI seems to be making things take more steps than they used to.

There's no reason not to upgrade to Windows 10. If you're that concerned, you can use the Enterprise edition which is significantly less bloated, plus a lot less telemetry.

Okay what the hell. There's no dedicated toggle for a tablet mode so if I fold out my laptop longways it just disables the keyboard. Reaaaaaaly thinking of going down to 10

pictures are worse than words. have you seen the icon for rename? why is a box with an arrow "share"? why are only those icons and nothing else? its like Egyptian hieroglyphs. add on top of that that now UI elements are listed both vertically and horizontally, in both words and pictures. its absolute gutter trash almost as bad as the windows 8 start screen

yeah stuff like this really feels it highlights how Windows 11 was an emergency marketing release. Gotta make sure it's different at a glance... round out windows, center the task bar and change the right click box!

i hate the trend software development is going in in general. why is everything electron based now? you want to re-use the designer who made your website look pretty to make the application look pretty, but he refuses to learn anything other than html/css? just make all programs slow, buggy shit then why dont ya

I love how each iteration of windows is worse than the last making the last look infinitely better. It's like they plan this
