    Being intuitive - was true of Windows 95 - XP, but was completely broken in the last couple of releases. Whatever version Windows is on now, it’s so much a guessing game what is and is not a button, or how to invoke a given tool within an application. They even took away the “menu > underlines” ffs.

      There’s still a start menu and you can start everything by using the system search or even desktop shortcuts.

      Regardless, you don’t have to worry about settings or requirements the way you do in Linux

        Yeah I’m not talking about launching applications, I’m talking about how to divine that ctrl alt shift § invokes “find in page” or whatever without digging through the gorram tabs of the ribbon.

        It’s so very power-user unfriendly, it would have made SO much more sense if Windows 3 or 95 had started or with those idiotic ribbons for crayon-eating users and THEN evolved into sleek, compact toolbar with hover tooltips hunting at keyboard shortcuts. But no, it was the other way around and I’m like unfathoming Asian head grab meme
