[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 years ago (7 children) I actually rather like win 10. Win 11 I'm holding off on until they fix the taskbar. If they go subscription, I go Ubuntu. permalink fedilink source hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago I used StartAllBack to fix the Win11 taskbar, works well. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I haven't had any problems with the task bar recently, they fixed most of the problems I had with it and it's worked pretty well for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 years ago I dock my taskbar to the left edge of the screen with full text labels. Afaik win11 still doesn't support that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) You can just set win 11 to win 10 Taskbar. First thing I ever did. I haven't minded win 11 at all. Unlike win 8 which was so much trash. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Raz@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the centre position of the Start menu, haha. I do use Stardock's Start11 to have the layout of W10, because the W11 menu is trash imo. But having a very wide/large screen, it's way nicer to have the menu in the center. I don't get why they removed the option to place the bar anywhere you want tho... That's always a step back. Even if I don't use it personally, I can see why this would be a massive pain for others. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I'd suggest try openSuse, it's way better than Ubuntu.
