Yeah, I’m really not happy with the removal of small taskbar buttons and the removal of the "Never combine" taskbar buttons, I use both and have done so since Windows 7 as I didn’t like the change back then and much prefered the way Windows Vista and earlier taskbars worked. Ubuntu later on did that exact UI for Unity and stuck with it in GNOME 3.At this point Windows looks weird to me in default form. For Ubuntu I ran the app bar on the left with an extension for giving the universal Mac like menu in GNOME 2. Task bar sits between both monitors.I have used it on the side for years (originally the left). I have an ultrawide as my main and then a portrait to the right of it. Today, it seems very antiquated, but maybe it’s not the worst if you only ever work off a single small screen, like a laptop screen, which most Mac users do.Right side is the correct answer for me. Made perfect sense before floating windows existed, or on a small screen where you can only have one thing open at a time. Mac’s global file menu has no business in a multitasking OS. When I’m on Mac, I put the dock on the left to save vertical real estate, but I just hate that Mac forces a full width menu bar and doesn’t let you combine the dock with that. ![]() However, making the taskbar vertical was always so janky in Windows, for the reasons you mentioned, plus sizing issues - the minimum width is double what is should be when using small icons to fit the clock, but if you use regular icons you can’t fit very many without getting a stupid scrollbar - doesn’t matter if it’s on the left or right, it kind of sucks.Personally, when I’m on Ubuntu (or any Gnome distro), I use Dash to Panel to essentially recreate the Windows taskbar look, but I keep it on top, without the global menu. I guess left just makes a lot more sense to me, coming from a western, left-to-right perspective. I just never really thought of putting on the right because kind of used to seeing Ubuntu’s layout. The Touch keyboard no longer supports docked and undocked layouts on screen sizes 18 inches and larger. The Windows 11 taskbar does not offer My People, which was previously deprecated, and it can now only be aligned to the bottom of the screen. The all-new Windows 11 Start menu no longer supports live tiles, groups, folders, pinned apps, or pinned sites. The Snipping Tool is available in Windows 10, but it looks and works like Snip & Sketch. S mode will only be available in Windows 11 Home edition going forward. Despite just shipping in Windows 10, News & Interests is being replaced by the new Widgets feature in Windows 11. The Math Input Panel is removed and the Math Recognizer will be installed on demand (and includes the math input control and recognizer). Quick Status is begin removed from the lock screen. Internet Explorer is disabled in Windows 11 (but not removed?). ![]() Windows 11 will not roam desktop wallpaper from PC to PC when you sign in with a Microsoft account. Cortana won’t blow out your eardrums during Setup’s first boot experience and it will no longer be pinned to the taskbar.
