But, some apps until in Windows 11 24H2 are still using a Legacy Components like Computer/Device Manager, Registry Editor, and many more. And also, still have a lot of Inconsistency UI, especially for a Dark Mode of Legacy Apps.

1. widgets that are not on the desktop are useless
2. still the start menu is not very practical and sluggish it needs a lot of changes to make personalization, at least minimally like win 10

It's still stupid that you cannot add widgets to the desktop

I really hope they redesign the Start Menu to suit desktop users. But it seems impossible at this point.

I see it still needs a decent Start menu. I'm currently using Start11 for Windows 11.

Wow! I can't wait! I'll be switching back to Windows really soon! :)

Wait so u can use sudo without admin password prompt? WHY???

[brauliob]

I like the idea of a page to show the WiFi password and a barcode for connecting to it, but I don't see this as a great idea as anyone could look at an unattended computer and find the password to a WiFi they're not supposed to be on.

A whole new version release just for these few changes? Really!

[temis]

sudo without password is a security breach !

i reckon nanazip is far better than this archive compression wizard
