    I’ve read that windows 11 uses react (a JavaScript view framework) for parts of the UI, and that seems insane to me. JavaScript isn’t a great language. It’s popular because it runs in the browser. The windows desktop is not a browser.

        I hate the auto-hide feature of the start menu. It doesn’t work right. I started using Bazzite/KDE, and it’s done correctly there.

      Well, given the goal is to turn Windows into a cloud-hosted, on-demand subscription service, it makes perfect sense.

        Actually you forgot about data mining or Spyware. Windows has literally become Spyware. I would switch faster than light if anticheat didn’t gatekeep Linux.

        Edit: Microsoft products have literally become Spyware

      It’s popular because it has an insanely low barrier to entry, so that’s what gets taught in schools and boot camps. Then that’s all Jr devs know entering the work force. Companies don’t invest in mentoring juniors and cultivating talent anymore, so as the seniors get poached, retire, or move into later stages of their career, JS is the only skill left.
