What's been your favourite version of Windows?

[-] Damarus@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago

I'm currently sticking to Windows 10 on my private machines but already on 11 on my work computer and it's fine with an alternative start menu. I'm also looking forward to the better HDR features on 11.

Fair enough, I use 10 and 11 at work and hate it ... I used to like 7, using the control panel, search, default paths and stuff seemed a lot more intuitive.

That's why I stick with Linux at home, it feels a lot more like Windows used to, lol

Yeah the control panel revisions took some getting used to, but now I think it's not so bad. I know where to find everything but I can see how it's frustrating for others. What's most important to me is that I have local admin rights on my work PC and can customize it to my liking. Many companies lock their devices down heavily, and I don't want to deal with that.

Indeed, I don't have admin rights for anything outside of IP address changes at work.

I just thought of another bug bear, start menu lag on mouse clicks is a very odd problem, I don't remember anything like that, even on the first release of Windows 95 which I ran on a laptop with 25MHz and 8 Mb of ram.

I've heard about that but haven't noticed it myself. It does sound annoying.

[-] SharkWeek 1 points 2 days ago

Yup, and it's on what was a mid-line laptop from 3 years ago. Only just started recently.

At home I use a thinkpad that I got 2nd hand 10 years back, and it feels like warp speed by comparison.
