Re: My experience so far
Linux user using Windows for the first time (properly anyway) in years. I don't completely hate it... winget is a bit shit when compared with anything on Linux, but good considering it's a Microsoft product.
One thing (aside from not being able to move the taskbar from the bottom to the side of the screen) that I find irritating is:
1. Finding the setting to change the key repeat rate was bloody hard; the old control panel is hidden away and the new settings thing is... sometimes lacking.
2. Once I found it (checks notes... oh yeah, Super+R "control keyboard"), it turns out that the repeat-rate is already at it's fastest. However, I'd like it just a smidge faster!
So after Googling, it seems I can change the keyboard repeat rate, but the GUI keeps such things within reasonable limits. But maybe a bit too reasonable? Anyway, I can change it but this involved faffing around with the registry.
Whats annoying is, I'm fairly certain that Cygwin allowed access to the WIndows registry via the file-system? If MS supported that, then I could easily manage it. As it is, I can't be arsed... making the key-repeat-rate a smidge faster just isn't worth the time Googling this, and then backing up my registry and all that crap.
Otherwise though, Windows 11 is... a lot less shit than previous versions. I like that OpenSSH is on it. I like that Windows Terminal is... not terrible.
Windows still takes for ever to update anything though... why is it sooooo slow at updating?!!! And even winget installing anything is slow.
Still, I don't like to complain. Their terminal font is quite nice!
