I thought LLM would code this in a matter of minutes without wasting money away on human work hours? What is going on Microsoft?

Is the explanation, “Because Windows 11 is shitty”?

It is lost technology… only the powerful ancients could accomplish such.

Or those familiar with the dark arts.

My screen is 2160px tall and 3840 pixels wide. If it’s at the bottom, I waste nearly 1.8 times the number of pixels.

Microsoft’s excuse about app design and layout is straight bullshit because I can make application windows any size and ratio I want.

Jokes on them I decided to give macOS a shake when it was time for a new laptop.

Luckily, someone has got an actual solution. Check out WindHawk. I use it to run a vertical taskbar.

When you buy a pc with mac os, you are usually stuck with it, at least for some time. When you buy a pc with windows, you can usually just uninstall it and install something else.

Dont care, its where the task bar should go, and I should be able to configure it.

At least on a Mac we can choose bottom or left! Wild that Microsoft won't give Windows users the option.

Of course you could say Mac is dorky with its always on menu bar at the top, but I quite like it. Even on my laptop with a notch it's not terrible. And I like the status bar (right side of the menu bar).

And of course on Linux you can just have it any which way you want it.

I still generally prefer windowing on Windows 11 to macOS Tahoe. Since Sequoia (the last version) we've had basic windowing (and before that, free apps like Rectangle to shoehorn it in), but what Microsoft started with Aero Snap in Windows 7 has never been "the Mac way." I think the old Mac users prefer a controlled chaos on their desktop. I like a more elegant setup. I like how I have Windows set up at work. It doesn't quite work as well on Mac, to try to do the same thing, but I wouldn't trade my Mac for something like my work PC, even if it could play more games.
