@RantSomeWhere they're consistent at that, not good at it. what they are good at is this new design language (but they're terrible at keeping everything on the same design language)
@Condor lol comparing Windows' stability Arch
in my (limited) experience, Ubuntu and Mint are much more stable than Windows (on LTS releases. I know this community is way more likely than average to use pre-release builds) -
Years later and I still can't figure out why people hated win8.... :D I've had a laptop with a touch screen at that moment and it was a life saver after that ugly win7 :)
Anyway.... M$ is constantly trying to improve and you can easily notice that. Yea yea, blah blah, your data goes to them.... Yet, you probably have android/iOs phone and so on.... Long topic there but as devs we should know that user usability patterns are important... I've personally implemented MANY heatmap trackers on my websites just to see what users are doing. -
@potata without touch screen imo, win8 was shit.
Tho I didn't even install it on my machine, just seeing it anywhere gave me fits -
@gitlog Can't agree with that too, used it wihout it too for quite some time, enjoyed the metro a lot :) When win 10 came out, I literally searched for ways to get metro back but.... All I had was a cortana button and a search bar.... :D

@gitlog maybe give it a try I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but it's still Windows so.. yeah. I compared it to Arch for a reason 😜
-
@irene Yep :) With all the honest, I didn't have any issues with it + I liked it because it was customisable and you could've had apps in one spot, which meant clean desktop at all times
-
@irene not really but close

@Condor osx user now :( but yea, at first it wasn't there
Actually I'm pleasantly surprised about Windows' stability nowadays. It's capable for running for up to a week with no stability issues, whereas systemd on the other hand.. let's just say that my Arch containers could do better right now.
Data mining aside, damn man.. Microsoft is improving for once! Is this the so-many'th unusable/somewhat stable switch? I mean, it's not like we haven't seen that happen yet! Windows 98, shit! Windows 2000, kinda alright! Windows Me, shit! Windows XP, kinda alright! Windows Vista, oh don't even get me started on that pile of garbage! Windows 7, again kinda okay! Windows 8, WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT START MENU GO YOU MOTHERFUCKERS?!!! Windows 10, well at least that Start menu got fixed. Then it got into some severe QA issues, which now seem to have gotten somewhat fixed again.
I'm starting to see a pattern here! 🤔

is windows bipolar?
