shit, running Windoze software puts your PC at risk.
the IT dept at my work forced us all to update to windows 11 last quarter. it more or less went as smooth as it could for me, but man it fucking sucks in the UX. they took away quick launch, which has been my chosen way to launch applications and open critical documents/folders for probably 15 years or some shit: my neat 3x6 rows of little custom icons that is always there, visible and ready to do what i want. i fucking loathe the taskbar pinned bullshit. it's total duplo designed for people who pay $2,000 for a facebook/email/youtube machine and will choke on anything small enough to fit in their mouth.
somebody has made some custom workaround to modify the shell, but they got us locked out on our work computers with no local admin access so i'm forced to play with the native windows environment. it SUCKS!
i have been steadily moving important things over to a nice little framework with ubuntu i got up and running in early 2024, but i still game and goof around on a jaunty desktop. i'm gonna hold out as long as possible and probably end up going to 11 with a bunch of weird 3rd party shit to make it more 10-ish, but i am definitely formulating the long term strategy to get away from the M$ environment completely. they seem to be pulling out all the stops to make me hate their products by removing all the little features i like.
