Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft

The bit about apps having to reflow seems nonsensical. They have to reflow any time the user resizes their windows.
I’m not accepting any excuses from MS about limited resources when Linux desktop environments built by hobbyists have the feature in question.
Yeah, sounds like bullshit. I don’t even see why that particular concern would create more work on the OS’s part.
If an application fits “wonderfully” into the space it’s given, Windows did nothing but telling it the dimensions it needs to fill. And as you said those dimensions can vary wildly.
Yeah especially considering you can install 3rd party solutions to dock the taskbar to the left which work perfectly fine

That might be a bit obsolete as a state of things. Like 15 years obsolete.
KDE has a bigger team now. Gnome doesn’t have a Windows-style panel by default. I was thinking of projects like Xfce and LXDE.

The whole operating system is even named after that concept.
