I switched mostly to Linux when windows 8 was released, but I don’t mind 11. It looks quite nice, the start menu is pretty good and normal again compared to the ugly full screen shitshow from windows 8 and the weird hybrid thing from windows 10 and most of that foreign mobile metro crap from windows 8 is gone again or reintegrated into the desktop.
Having tabs in the explorer is also super nice.

Really? I do not see much difference compared with 10, other than shifted start button.

The silenced cries of the side taskbars…

Yeah, this pissed me off. It’s almost never useful, but spanning the whole x-axis on an ultra wide does make less sense.
I hated icon stacking also because I had a wide monitor and didn’t want to have extra clicks.
Ironically, now I have so many things open, the stacking only makes sense when I get ~15 explorer windows open and they’re all displayed as a tall list

Well aside from that, which shouldn’t have been set by default imo, it has more bugs, ridiculous system requirements, requires a ms account even more than before and runs worse.
I guess however bad the versions before it might have been, they at least kind of had a point? 11 is just a shitty reskin to squeeze out those sweet licensing dollars. They didn’t even bother changing the version number in the older releases.
