[β] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) I never minded the metro menu tbh. Itβs funny that windows tried to do what is done on Linux (gnome) and Mac and got blasted for it. I use a full screen style start menu everywhere else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works [S] 4 points 2 years ago* It was way too early. If that happened after 11, very few would mind. But it happened way too early. 7 had the classic 6.x kernel start menu, and 8 suddenly had... no start menu button at all π¬. That was their mistake, way too much change way too early. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Peasley@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) i never liked the inconsistent window management though. On 8, (i dont remember for 8.1) there were some apps and menus that forced "tablet mode" and could only be interacted with in fullscreen. Other applications would open in what looked like tablet mode by default but you could break them out into desktop mode, after which they behaved normally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago 8.1 fixed 99.9% of all of this, it was actually quite good but suffered by being called 8.1 instead of 9 permalink fedilink source parent
