The 'Secret' Development of Windows 11
linux is good if you wanna surf the web & search for multiple commands to work with for hours which you handle visual normally. besides, ditch Mint if you wanna just have a windows alternative or expand pc life. if you have no social life, do the real stuff and choose between Debian or Arch & no custom os
Indians mostly from the 90s do this very often, i have seen a lot of them doing in school and at work
😅
I ❤ 🐧
Literally have never done this in my life. Let's finish the rest of the video to see if I am the crazy one.
disclaimer: I considered using Linux Mint before this video. most of there was kind of rants to me. you start windows, and It works and have good UX/I options/choice for majority of users. Well I think the fact that so many Linux desktop environments give more options for customization is that they are not as well designed as windows and mac UXs. And I found the customization is more of a wrong behavior or weakness than a power/skill/productivity behavior or things like that. Cause most of the customizations are like "I just love this button to be here" (more subjective than effectively efficient) The adaptability is more of skill than this. (Like how we het used to different video games keymap or shortcuts and forget about it in a short period of the time. Or we get used to different programming languages/Frameworks syntaxes and rules. Why this One shouldn't be like those?!) Secondly we can use some software to remove get rid of some of the bloat on windows. don't remember the name. I think I got it on GitHub. It worked really well. But overall, this is windows. they can make lightweight like Linux. They had to make money of it while this is not the case of nature of Linux. About the other options like renaming (or some additional features) I'm at the same boat as you, unless windows have things like power toys.
Gigachads uses F5 to refresh
Thanks for the video but what is the music on @4:40 ?
Just press F5 key instead of refresh button. [Just shortcut]
going from tech to philosophy to motivation and anything in between is very rare in one video
I have no clue why someone would do it constantly. I sometimes use the button in Windows Explorer, because I downloaded or created something and it doesn't sort the list alphabetically again. But other than that, why on earth should someone refresh the Desktop repeatedly? I only ever needed it when Windows was bugged and didn't show the changes right away, but this is very rare. The only odd thing is that I sometimes accidentally press the right mouse button when I am scrolling through a mail, no idea why my finger does that. But that is a subconscious bug in my system, not like actively selecting the refresh button from the menu.
I can write a code that can do it.
Literally the first time I’ve heard people feeling compelled to click the button. Whacky. I only use it when the desktop behaves in a buggy manner to make missing icons appear
I noticed you can't move a file up a directory without opening a folder in a new window. You used to be able to drag and drop
People have an urge to click refresh? Huh. That's something.
CONTROL+SHIFT+COMMAND+4+SPACEBAR... 5 keys... Apple: we are made of stupid!
Linux is better than windows in everything except gaming, yes you can play many games on linux but some games cant run on linux or they run porly, or sometimes you need to compile vulcan shaders before lauching some games which takes a loot of time.
3:12 fun fact:those are opera O's
Here are a few simple tasks I do when I use my laptop: 1) Windows management. I have two apps open in two columns next to the taskbar at the bottom and the apps menu at the top for each. IDE+Browser, Mail+Word, CZcams+Telegram, Game+Reddit, etc. Mac has split view, but it's a mess and there are a lot of apps on Mac that can't do it. Why? Because of the Mac ideology, this screen is not a screen, but an application! No windows are allowed. I bet Tim Cook lives in a house with no windows! When he needs to look outside, he builds another house with "the outside" in it. What should I do to see result of what I'm doing in the IDE in realtime? - Buy an external monitor or two and move my head around like I am at a hard rock concert! The Mac interface is made of stupidity. 2) Delete button - I just can't delete a letter. Of course, press right and then press Backspace. It just works. For backward people. Also take screenshots of your iPhone camera screenshot. Why not? I often see people do this. Retarded people... retarded people are everywhere. 3) Convenient language switching, the correct keyboard for Cyrillic and Chinese letters - it just sucks on a Mac. I don't need the paragraph symbol, I need the damn letter Ё. Shift+6 is a dot? Apple, are you nuts?! 4) insert, delete, home/end, page up/down, print screen, numeric keypad, mouse and 108 key keyboard all matter if you are a software developer, and I am one. None of this matters when you're using a Mac. This system is disabled like a paralyzed sprinter. 5) The file system is hell. You might say: oh, it's like Linux! But Finder is not, Finder is for searching, not for working. Creating a simple file anywhere is an impossible task on Mac. I was forced to use the terminal command "touch <path and filename>" because the terminal is much easier to use than the MacOS GUI. So now I remember every file, every config I've ever created. Why do I need it? I don't know, I need to complete the task and move on. But now my brain has a huge legacy of memories of every file I create because Finder sucks. 6) Mobile chip and the joy of exploring the capabilities of a computer. Yes, their arm processor is a mobile chip. So when we talk about gaming, Mac is clearly the loser. BUT! THERE IS ONE MORE THING! And I'm telling you about neural networks. You can't run a local neural network (of course you can, it would be ridiculously slow) without a GPU with a lot of video memory. Virtual machines, Linux, game development, UE, ray tracing, etc. Forget about these tasks if you use a Mac. Want to write an application to calculate the trajectories of stars and planets for nebula clusters? Forget about it. Start your CZcams career. Become another faceless graphic designer or video maker. Do something DJ-y. It's 2024, your creativity is for children's play, not innovation! That's what Mac is. Twenty years ago we studied Pascal, BASIC, Adobe Flash. Today it is distributed computing and robotics. It's simply impossible to learn or do anything on a Mac if Apple is against it. 7) To be or not to be. Let's talk about price. Of course, if you live in the US or Germany or, I don't know, one of those rich countries, a Mac is good enough, even cheap, if you want a typewriter with HULU built in. But if you are a school teacher in an Eastern European country with a small budget for a computer lab, say 10 thousand dollars - now we can talk. For this price you can buy 20 computers for the computer lab. Hell, even for the office. With 24" monitors and peripherals. Or you can buy 4 of the cheapest Apple Air laptops (with a 13.3-inch screen) as typewriters. 20 PCs versus 2-6 Macs. If you buy the cheapest chinese crap, it will be 30-40 pieces. The simple task was to simply be. Mac didn't succeed.
I have been using Mint at home and at work since version 6, and it's been fantastic.

We need Windows 7 back, it was peak Windows
Theres a refresh button?
Mac renaming is WAY better. Why hasn't windows implemented it yet?
CHATGPT is undeniably correct and the answer is irrefutable because proprietary software cannot beat free software
Windows 10 is excellent already and easy to use ITS going to be hard for windows 11 to succed
Windows 11 is ugly
I did a playlist about all of the fun google secrets I did in the right order because the other google playlist was not in the right order
Windows 11 and Outlook 2024. Upgrades that pull features from the previous version.
Works fine put the box with thinkpad T440
Using Linux made me forget about that harmlessly useless menu item.
Turned off with the use of "Jesus Christ" someone getting upset over something like this was not rare, but signs of the Godless world that taking over. So no one bats and eye any more.
Considering Windows 11 usage is dropping while 10 is growing, MS would be suicidal to end support for 10.
I am actively getting used to Linux. You can actively start to try it yourself by installing VirtualBox and making a virtual machine with the linux of your choice. This won’t run games in a virtual machine. If you wish to try to install linux on your computer, I strongly recommend replacing your hard drive (SSD) with a separate or new one to install on. That way if/when you want to go back to linux, swap your Windows hard drive back into your computer. I recommend looking at three options: Linux Mint, Pop_OS, and Zorin OS.
Soo what is this vdo about 😅
They could just remove it.
in the last several months Microsoft have shot themselves in the face several times with forcing crap on us and blocking software that makes win11 run better from being able to be downloaded and a few other things. And it's been said that 12 will be worse and will just take over your computer. They have become a great ad for going to Linux.
আমরা যারা এই প্রজন্মের তারা উইন্ডোজ ১০ অনেক ভালবাসি . যাই হোক আমরা ১১ তে আপগ্রেড করবো না
Bro I use to spam click it
No games, no joy. Linux is crap.
All I can say about Windows 11 is that it's a heck of a lot better than it was a year and a half ago.
2024 anyone?
Linux Mint 😂
Tutorial CZcamsrs in 2011 used to use this button every 5 seconds
Peak smartphone design at least for Android was probably the htc m8 but i did think the oppo find x was interesting phones are all the same now a metal and glass sandwich probably with a notch or a cutout
My old computer doesn't have TPM2,0 so i can't install Win11. On another new i have Win11, but it isn't do good as Win10
I only do it if I added an icon, or moved something into or out of the folder (the desktop in this case), and it's not reflecting in the UI.
World's worst intro
Back in XP days there was popular myth that clicking refresh makes pc run better and faster So we all spammed refresh button before starting any program
Great !! Thanks !! Just a few dreams.... 1. The Taskbar transparent on the Top of the screen. 2. Time and Calendar in the middle of that transparent top taskbar 3. Calendar automatically show the contants of the Google Calendar Can you tell me how ???
