A tour of Windows 11’s GUI: http://toastytech.com/guis/win11.html
@mckinley@twtxt.net Is it just me or has the UX of Windows gotten worse over time not better? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net It is absolutely not just you. I found a nice video of someone going through Microsoft’s efforts to make you use Edge on Windows 11. Is it okay if I upload it to tube.mills.io? It’s 93.8 MiB.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh interesting glad it’s not me 😆 I really can’t stand Windows really at all 😂 Windows 2k was the last version I ever used 😅
@screem@twtxt.net Really?! 🤔 😳
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Virtual desktops are standard since at least 10. I doubt it’s ever used by 99% of Windows users. Taskbar window grouping is the default. PowerToys are still around, adding things like window tiling and a bulk file rename utility. I think some of the PowerToys features from 10 were made standard in 11.
@screem@twtxt.net Whether you like the design or not, the User eXperience, I think, has gotten even worse in comparison to 10. The trend of the industry (read: Windows, Mac OS, and default Ubuntu to an extent) is to make everything beyond opening the (default) Web browser more difficult.
Want to create a shortcut in Windows 11? It used to be right there in the Explorer right click menu. Now, it’s only accessible in the old menu accessed from clicking an option in the new right click menu. What are you making shortcuts for, peasant? You’re lucky they let you do advanced things like “making shortcuts” and “installing software from outside the walled garden” at all.
@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to use tube.mills.io to upload that video, but I kept getting an error:
error transcoding video: cmd.CombinedOutput error: signal: killed
I uploaded it to a regular file host instead. Windows 11 in a Nutshell [93.8 MiB]
I realized that the original video is H.264, here’s an H.265 version. Same dimensions, comparable quality, but a third of the size! Oh, the joys of modern technology. :)

@mckinley@twtxt.net And of course this doesn’t play in iOS on an iPhone 😂
No video? I only get audio hmm 🤔
