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

Windows 11 is a bloated disaster. I urge everyone to switch to Linux or one of the BSDs.
Also switch away from Microsoft Office and use LibreOffice.

Using BSDs is for Unix fetishists, honestly. I’ve been such. It’s very pleasant to use FreeBSD on supported configuration, or OpenBSD on supported configuration and when you don’t need anything impossible (like Wine).
But when you are a normal person who just wants to do normal things and live, Linux is more likely to be the thing, and Fedora will do.
In practice. In theory you might think you’d like GuixSD or NixOS, but in practice you won’t spend the time on setting them up. Or Slackware, but it’s even more bother. Or Arch, but it’s too messy, stuff breaks and it’s normal. You either want experience similar to BSDs or lack of bother similar to BSDs. For the former, there are plenty of distributions with ideology to spend days on setting up. For the latter, just install Fedora.
I’m using Void because that’s what I installed the last time and forgot. But if I were choosing now, I’d probably, yes, just install Fedora.
And it’s a shame they are slowly killing Windows. It could have been a nice desktop OS. There’s some cultural similarity to Amiga that isn’t felt under Unix-likes. And NT is interesting to read about.
I hope we’ll have more pluralism in future. On the humus of today’s tech.
