This below is windows 11 consistency, within their own os context menus. I am not even starting on the fact that window decorations there too are a non standardised mess.

I agree that lack of UI consistency is less than ideal, and very real in Linux, but let's not pretend that this is a main issue stopping people from migrating (from an equally inconsistent OS)

Okay Windows has gone to shit way more than I thought in the last 10 years.

Oh yeah, I am forced to use it for work and it's just incredible how innovative Microsoft is at making things worse. Takes real talent at that point.

And now they've gone atomic updates (still with insufficient internal quality control) you get monthly *update xyz breaks abc".

Yea... not to mention the file browser context menu takes five seconds to open for me (on a very high end machine!)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
