I think if Windows 8 were to be implemented on Linux as-is instead of being Windows NT, the most likely way that would happen is there would be a nested compositor for the desktop inside the Metro compositor. The next question is, are they both DWM.exe or is that only the desktop and the Metro one is called "Immersive(something)"?

#Windows8

@xyla @wyatt or Windows at all without baving to puke...

• And yes I developed a "Windows allergy" around the time #Windows8 was released and it only got worse...

I've seen some varying opinions around #EndOf10 and #Linux and the inevitable #YearOfLinuxOnTheDesktop meme, and I want to chime in that this is a regular part of the OS lifecycle. Linux users might appear in a slow dribble otherwise, but we grow more rapidly when MS fumbles. I started Linux to get away from #WindowsME, and there were similar moods around #WindowsVista and #Windows8. The event is neither a joke nor a start of Linux supremacy, just a good opportunity.

I could go as far back as #Windows8, which this machine comes with, but setting up an older environment with the right version of #DotNetFramework, #DirectX, etc., is a challenge.

Did I just time-travel twenty years back into my childhood?

I still don't understand why #Windows11 got rid of tiles. They were great on tablets in #Windows8, but now with #Windows 11 we basically get an Applications window from Windows 3.1, but at a fixed position from the bottom of the screen.

Why have we regressed so far? 🤦‍♂️😖

Ахах, год про него не вспоминал, а как купил себе ещё кабель магнитный, так и вспомнил. Оказывается, что если подключить этот магнитный переходник к коннектору type c, то будет только зарядка. В ноутбуке вообще идёт определение устройства и отключение.
Весело. И очень странно выглядит это действие.

Windows 11 pode ganhar um Menu Iniciar verdadeiramente agradável de usar

A little talked about boon of Windows 8 was that a lot of the replacement start menu's just worked on Windows XP; so you could get a Windows 7 Start Menu on XP and it was so fucking good omg.

@yubal Creo que el tema del TPM limita y mucho la adopción de #Windows11 por parte de muchísima gente. No todo el mundo está cambiando de PC cada 2-3 años, mucha gente para el uso que le da al PC (ofimática básicamente) puede estar 7-8 años o más sin cambiar. Aun así, ese casi 3% de gente que usa #Windows8 hacia atrás es digna de elogio

#Windows 10にアップグレードされているからと言って、最新版のDELLRecovery and Backupをダウンロードし、リカバリをかけたらWindows 7になってしまった! え、これってWindows 8じゃないの? #DELL #Windows10 #Windows8 #Windows7

@Clygro tbh, the "#Metro" style, #MaterialDesign / #PaperMaterial "slabs " are good for #touchscreen devices, it's just not really good for #mouse & #keyboard or #LowDPI & #LowRes devices...

• But then again, I know people like @fuchsiii who loved #Windows8's design because it's the least #Windows-esque Windows!

Mesmo prestes a acabar, Windows 10 volta a crescer no mundo

Irgendwann hat man doch mal ein Punkt erreicht, wo man doch einfach eine #Linux Distro nutzen sollte. Ich mochte ja auch #WindowsXP, #Windows7 und sogar #Windows8, aber ich versuche doch nicht um Biegen und Brechen alles, um das weiter am Laufen zu halten. Mit Geräten wie das #SteamDeck, die #Xbox, Tools wie #Proton / #WINE und den Apple Silicon Mac Mini, sehe ich keinen Grund, warum man #Windows weiter nutzen sollte, schon gar nicht #Windows10 oder #Windows11.
