I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Hell is freezing because at Microsoft we have our own Linux distribution called Mariner or more exactly CBL-Mariner where CBL stands for Common Base Linux. At least it's cold somewhere

Windows 11: 9 hidden changes you may have missed | Windows Central:Quote: ...Furthermore, in this version of the OS, you will no longer be able to change the taskbar position (top, left, or right), and the option to show labels for apps is no longer available.
Whelp, that's it. Microsoft has officially lost the big picture. Unless that statement is not true. Please be not true.Quote: Some applications you download from the Microsoft Store can continue to run in the background to provide additional functionalities, including the ability to download data in the background and show notifications. On Windows 10, the Settings app included a page to manage which applications should run in the background, but that's no longer the case in Windows 11. ... However, the feature has not been removed. You now can control this feature from within the Advanced setting of each application.
I'm thinking #1 is true, from this brain-dead decision to add more mouse clicks per change.

With as many hours as you indicated you wasted on your setup, not upgrading is just as valid of an option, if not more so!

I don't think it was wasted time/effort. None of my machines is experiencing any problems, and they haven't since I converted 3 years ago.
I can only sit and watch, amused at the crap Microsoft is doing, and amazed that so many people are still using Windows.

This page is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII graphical calculator, running a SuperH SH4 processor. It's not *how well* the pig is dancing, it's *that* the pig is dancing
Granted, it does seem to be failing under the load of Reddit and Hacker News (and us), but try refreshing a few times (sadly, source not included edit x2: OK, I'm blind, he does include a link to the repo)
edit: Here's the mirror on Web Archive[^] if that link isn't working due to load.

The comment "It's not *how well* the pig is dancing, it's *that* the pig is dancing" is good, but Dr. Samuel Johnson said on 31st July 1763:
“Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”

In a surprising move, Microsoft has confirmed that it’s currently not working on a stable release of WinUI 3 for UWP apps, as the company wants to focus on once-legacy Win32 apps for Windows 10 and Windows 11. UWP: yoU Won't Prosper

The last time I wrote Windows GUI, I used something called WTL[^]. If I was asked to do it today, wouldn't know where to start with all these failed technologies that were released in the meantime.

Microsoft says it’s gone door-to-door replacing routers compromised with the Trickbot malware in Brazil and Latin America, hoping to squash an international hacking group. Hi! Have you heard the good news about our lord and master, Windows Update?

Isn't it a little early in the year for Trick or Treat?
