I know many people are pushing Linux but imagine having to train basic users on another OS after decades on Windows? It's fine for your home lab, but blows ass for a windows shop

But every version of windows requires training because they keep changing crap for no reason.

As in why the split between settings and control panel. Why the nonstop start menu changes? And so forth

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Having separate interfaces for user settings and system settings makes sense for companies that prevent users from changing system settings.

The Start Menu shit... probably just a strategy to get people to use bing.

[–] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

its not about making sense, there are plenty of system settings in the settings app. Moving to the setting app was about getting the minimum shippable set of settings into it, anything that is left in the control panel is there because it was high effort for them to untangle (or in some cases the expertise to untangle it is no long at Microsoft). They keep saying eventually the Control Panel will be retired, but its a long and expensive process
