I use windows 11 everyday, without issue. what exactly is broken?

[–] kayohtie@pawb.social 27 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Kind of a wide variety of things that varies from person to person in often absurd ways -- broken in ways I've never seen Macs or Linux systems be, nor even Windows 10 and older.

  • Explorer taking ~20-30 seconds to open a new window (fine once it's open, until you want another window) (I've only suffered this on my work laptop for some reason)
  • The "home" view being blank save for a weird expansion panel that's empty -- sometimes this can be solved by resetting ALL folder views in Explorer settings, other times it just stays broken after and randomly works later (I've repeatedly suffered this)
  • Start menu being empty or not showing new additions to it, and pinning anything to start that wasn't from right-clicking anything found in it just not pinning for ??? amounts of time (both)
  • Randomly muting all audio input devices (home)

And that's just my personal experiences. The ones I've seen others deal with is much weirder.

Honestly I'm buying more into the idea of how ostree distros work; Windows is like a very broken version of that anymore.

On my work computer when I maximize a window, I get a little strip of desktop still showing between the window and the start bar.
