I feel like that's long been a trend- instead of trying to lift users up and educate them, let's just give up and hide things.
It's really easy to over estimate the Windows user base. I have a family member who has gotten so pissed that the start menu moved from the left to the center that she refuses to use it. Functionality is more or less the same but apparently that's enough for her to not want to use Windows 11.
And no she won't use Linux.
She hates when Facebook changes it's UI and stopped using that a few years ago (probably a good thing).
Heh, that sounds like... me.
Yeah, I know it can be moved. But what I missed more was fullscreen start menu. Then again, my favorite Windows version is 8.1.
I was also postponing updates (for months) when there was a switch from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6. And I wish I could have kept it for a while on Arch, but partial upgrades always eventually catch up on me.
I upvoted you for your bravery.
