      The windows UI being boring doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn’t fix the problem IMO.

        Yes, but it has some “quirks” that for somebody are a waste of time. Sometimes better and usable is enough.

        For example I profoundly hate the start menu’s suggested apps default window. I just want it to list all apps when I click it. And on win 11 this is not customizable.

        Everyone has his use case.

          isnt that the point of using a 3rd party option. while windows isnt as customizable as Linux, i fond it odd that people are trying to customize the native windows button instead of using a 3rd party one and customizing that, in which you would have much more control of the function.

            No, the point is that people want a basic functionality implemented since windows 3.1 at least without having to pay (or tinker) for a dedicated app to restore usability.
