How to get rid of the new style context menu.
Just did this to my PC. So much better!
Everything Microsoft is fucked.
They worked so hard to cram every feature and make everything one fucking platform and the bugs just kept piling up.
I don’t need to fucking access my files through Teams. I don’t fucking want OneDrive to be a requirement for auto save. I fucking hate Copilot.
I just fucking want Excel to work.
You charge a subscription fee now. Where the fuck is that money going because it clearly is not going into product development and support.
God damnit! I am too fucking lazy to switch to Linux but you’re really going to make me do it aren’t you?
Meanwhile, Linux works just fine. Booted up, opened steam, played Elden Ring (today I learned you can parry Midra!). Worked on a spreadsheet for some personal finance. Did some coding. At no point did I see an ad or fight with the UI.
Start and right click also just works instantly as it should on fucking massive powerful machines doing what should be a absolute trivial thing.
Legit switched to Linux because of Win11. It’s been a hell of a learning curve too, but I’m doing it specifically to spite windows.
Honestly 99% of my complaint on Linux is package management. The .deb/Ubuntu approach of “downloadable installers must micro-target specific semi-annual releases” is absolutely bananas when Windows can install software from the 1900s. Otherwise? I mean I have a lot of micro-complaints but that’s the 500 lb gorilla in the room. Still happy to be done with Windows though.
Downloading .deb from internet directly is a recipe for breakage on update. Appimages are analogous to .exe in windowsland. Proprietary vendors not being up to speed with Linux distro landscape is a very real issue

this, ffs what’s wrong with flatpack and click with a mouse. I want to use apps, im not there 'mirrin the OS and my kb skills, tap up 30 times in terminal. Hell I even havee a txt file to copy paste some commamds into Terminal
I use LMDE btw ;)
Why would you use downloadable installers?
Unfortunately need Windows for work, but was able to switch my HTPC server to Linux and have been very happy. Still a lot to learn!
It’s so much worse. Right click, nothing happens. Right click again, shitty incomplete menu opens. Click more options. Menu closes, nothing happens. Right click a third time, click more options. Fucking finally, an actual menu opens. Click rename. Menu closes nothing happens. Do it all a fourth time, finally works.
Use any version of Linux, works first time.
You simply don’t click rename.
You press F2.
Yes that was mostly poking fun. Use Linux if you want to stay sane with reliable behavior.
I really hate how F2 will mute the speakers or something on half the machines I touch. I want to shoot whoever decided that a key’s primary function requires modifier key.
The good ones let you choose. The sad thing is that I am absolutely not entirely sure which mapping is best. It is handy to have display and keyboard lighting hot keys there.
Or just press the file and hit F2, or slow click on the file twice.
Company that fucked you on purpose realizes too many of you are leaving and promises to do better next time, baby.
But not like baby like they want to fuck you. You’re much too old for that.
You still can’t customize it, there’s a damn Copilot ad every time.
