I laughed, then cried, because I still have to use this heap of shit operating system at work.

lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 day agostill has UI menus from Win 7, possibly fucking XP, if you dig deep enough.
Yeah, those are the good ones.

Yeah that’s the worst bit tbf
If you’re not going to make better UIs and you’re going to keep the old ones around anyway… Why not just… add new items to the old ones?
Instead, you have like 3 or 4 different generations of control panel and they do different things so you go to the correct one based on what you need to do…
I’m just happy to not own any Windows machines anymore, not even dual boot. I actually liked 7. Like really liked it. 10 felt like a downgrade (I suspect because the UI was uglier and it had an extra layer of control panel added in either 8 or 10 that was more dumbed down so you’d usually want to go to the old one, which gets you thinking “why exactly did we need a new Windows version”). 11 is shit even on a brand new machine, even if it looks pretty-ish. It’s slow, the reduced context menu is annoying… Yeah I could change a lot of things via registry keys and whatnot, but KDE Plasma just gives me a single system settings application that configures almost everything I’d want to configure on my machine, the rest is application specific stuff for which I’m fine just editing the conf files
