You can say goodbye to these legacy File Explorer options on Windows 11
The options will continue to be available through registry keys.
Getting tired of the endless reg edits necessary to enable basic functionality on Windows 11
I use Windows 10 at home and it’s not so bad, but using Windows 11 at work makes me understand why everyone hates it
I went the batshit crazy route and just set up an AD server for home.
Let’s me gain some knowledge for work and ensure that every PC I configure at home ‘just works’ and if I’ve got to make changes to get something to actually fucking work, I only have to do it once.
A few of my linux servers auth through it too, which is pretty convenient, honestly.
I stopped being windows many years ago except when I’ve to fix my mobile phone. In linux we don’t have drive letters I just name the partitions instead.
“Get rid of that useless local account feature, but slowly, make it difficult to use first.”

WIndows 11 UI is only bearable with StartAllBack. https://www.startallback.com/
Neagtive. Costs 5 dollars for 1 license, more for more licenses.
My Windows10 start menu broke when they added news & interests to the taskbar - typing to find an app stopped working and I could never fix it.
Finally I installed open-shell menu which replaces my start menu and restores it back to a more classic start menu with the ability to find apps by typing.
I’m honestly getting tired of Windows and all of my productivity apps are available for linux these days so I don’t know why I’m still running it aside from convenience. Once it’s no longer convenient, off I go to another platform. If only Spez from Reddit would get that concept.
Photoshop was the last program that kept me on Windows. Photopea.com does 95% of what my old Photoshop 5.5 does for me.
I’m 99% ready to move over to a Linux distro for day to day home use, and 90% done for work.
All my users are already dualboot ready, they just dont know it yet.
I suggest to make a list of program on Windows that are critical for you, and then make a list of programs on Linux (that are maintained) and install everything on a 2nd SSD. The cost is negligible and you can tinker as much as you want without breaking your Windows install in any way.
Lol yeah I’ve been avoiding paid software for a while - and I agree, Photopea is awesome, I’ve been switching over to that as well. I’ve purposely stuck with open source alternatives for years, including for my CAD and 3D modelling needs. And I’ve toyed with the live-DVD of LinuxMint a few months back and it’s a slick looking OS. Once windows pisses me off enough, I’ll go dual-boot and default to linux mint
