    Windows still hasn’t decided what it’s configuration windows should look like, there are still dialogs with the 30 year old W95 design language. I doubt that they were able to put together a seamless gaming UI over that past x months or years.

      Do you, in your brain, genuinely think someone goes through every single dialog box on every release and pressed a button that says “this will use 30 yo design language” and “this one will have really big whitespace and rounded corners”? Because I have some news for you.

      Microsoft just needs to do what valve is doing to wine and make all the old windows shit work with it, and build a whole new OS that is actually good. Such a steaming pile of band-aided together bullshit and UIs and data collection engines.

        I’d argue the kernel itself is significantly better designed vs Linux, at least in critical areas like drivers. You’re saying you want a new desktop environment, which doesn’t require them to do anything but start over 30 years of development.
