Hello Windows Insiders, I want to speak to you directly, as an engineer who has spent his career building technology that people depend on every day. Windows touches more people's lives than almost any technology on Earth. Every day, we hear from th

          It is so tragic how misinformation spreads.

          A single init system (of the multiple that exist) enabled the option for an age check to be implemented to said init system, which is then still left at the discretion of each individual distro to either enable or keep disabled. So far only corporate distros seem interested, or at least ambivalent, in enabling said feature. Most other distros don’t have it enabled nor are planning to, and US law cannot touch them since many distros are HQ’ed out of the US.

          Despite this, we are already seeing comments such as this one. Very sad.

    They had 6 years to fix the taskbar and now they’re listening?

    And they want to make the AI more meaningful but no mention of letting people turn it off.

    I guess they’re worried. I already left.

    More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions:

    Removed for no reason when win 11 launched, Fixed by using windows 10

    Integrating AI where it’s most meaningful, with craft and focus:

    Noone wants your shitty AI. Fixed by using windows 10

    Reducing disruption from Windows Updates

    Windows update has always been fucking horrible, but I kinda have a running gag. Fixed by using windows 10

    Faster and more dependable File Explorer

    Performance worse under win 11, Fixed by using windows 10

    More control over widgets and feed experiences

    Feature noone wants, fixed by using windows 10

    A simpler, more transparent Windows Insider Program

    It would be much better if win 11 updates didn’t need to constantly be rolled back because they break fundamental features due to lack of testing. Why even have a beta branch? Fixed by using windows 10

    Improved Feedback Hub, available starting today

    The continued push toward deeper AI integration shows that feedback does not matter to Microsoft. Fixed by using windows 10?

    Or just use any Linux distro, since none of them have these problems.

      I mean, Win10 is EOL now, so it’s not going to be getting very many updates anymore

    Is this “quality” with us in the room right now? I’m pretty sure all quality windows had died with windows 7.

    I would like to personally thank Windows for introducing the century of the Linux desktop to me and my family’s life.

    Reminds me of all those “tech magazine” articles years ago saying “akshually Edge is a really good browser” after the entire Windows user base only used it to download some other browser instead.
