Some Users Are Working on Fixes to Make Windows 11 Look like Windows 10

I’ll be honest, it’s not the number of clicks that bother me. It’s the time taken to relearn or find some of these things that I had already learned once over.

But I guess I could just as well complain that all that stuff I learned in DOS I had to relearn how to do in a GUI once upon a time. I could argue that’s different though - a totally different interface doesn’t bring a lot of preconceived notions with it, so you approach it as something new, not as being lost in something familiar.

I still don’t know what PowerShell is tbh.
There is absolutely no reason why network settings has to be divided between three or four completely separate panels now, all consisting one or two of the options previously accessible from one single control panel. And to top it off, the old control panel is still there because there are one or two things that are impossible to do with any of the new shiny but useless apps. And the same applies to printer settings or display settings, etc. Although with one of the last updates they completely removed the old screen resolution panel, replacing it with an inferior version.

Windows is being redesigned by a committe under our noses.
 
I’m glad I don’t need Windows for anything. Thankfully there are already enough flavors of Linux to use and once you find one they (usually) get better over time, not worse.

Powershell is MAGIC. It can do anything and everything. Its that good. But IMO its unnecesarily complicated, then again, so is SSH.

This is a pretty accurate assessment.

And that's the main problem with linux, you need several flavors to cover all your needs and they do get worse. Ubuntu anyone?

Tnx I took a look at powershell when it was introduced, but it seemed too complicated and limited. I was better off using Kix.
But I came back when version 3 was out, and man its a godsend. Its so much powerful than before and a little bit less complicated. I stopped using any 3rd party scripting.

Now I use it for VM deployment, IIS deployment, server maintenance, db/apps backups, PC image creation/deployment, virtual to physical and viceversa, exchange account management, AD management, pretty much anything that has to do with Azure, you name it.
