My workplace has been using Windows 10 for its workstations; only in the past week or so has ONE of them been "updated" to 11 - and by god, is default 11 just so ugly and user-unfriendly.
For one thing, clicking on the clock on the bottom-right? In 10, it shows the date and time, including seconds - not so in 11, for some stupid reason!

Being in a pathology mailroom, we don't use the two desktops for too much - punching in and out, lodging mail counts to AusPost, keeping track of stock in a spreadsheet, etc. - but using 11 compared to 10 is still a horrid experience nonetheless. This is saying nothing of the PCs for the inserters, for that matter.

The seconds can be activated, and if you like the Windows 10 start menu interface use https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

...Thanks, but that's a company desktop. I can't install anything for security reasons, so it can't be improved unless the IT department decides to do so themselves.

That is bad news explorer patches is not supported on Enterprise environments, Microsoft hate it! But for my personal PC is a savior

Same here; my own personal W11 laptop has been significantly modified to be far more user-friendly, more akin to 10. Shame I can't do that at work...
I really don't know what Microsoft was even thinking with 11; they fucked up the most visible and primary aspect of their OS - its GUI. That's an unforgivable sin.

I ended up going with ZorinOS, but I feel like I've just done a crime just installing it into his machine without giving him context behind Linux other than giving him stuff to read.
I should've better explained it, but if he needs any help, then I got him covered.

This will surely not lead to disastrous consequences

People here are too biased towards Linux and don't wanna admit it

Towards or against? Bit of a difference, and it could go either way to be honest.

I like it. Linux isn’t for everyone.
