> Lots of people dislike the new UI of Windows 11, and there are ways to heavily customize it with 3rd party solutions

Really ? Besides Windhawk, which is limited, i never heard of anything else.

WindowBlinds and Start11. The result looks and works almost nothing like Windows 11, more like an updated Win7.

Rainmeter is another popular choice

> Windows 11 could've been a fantastic OS. Instead of pushing AI crap and adding Copilot to Notepad (I kid you not), Microsoft could focus on fixing multi-year bugs and cleaning up the UI mess.

Imagine if they started on Windows 7, pinned the design, and continued fixing only old bugs. What a nice OS it could be!

I was just going to say this. Windows 7 with security packs + WSL would have been about as good as it gets on Microsoft's side.
