Redstar os is the best os everyone knows it's the pinnacle of linux engineering

Real meme is in the comments

[-] Fosheze@lemmy.world 205 points 1 month ago

Win 10 was definitely an improvement over 8. I'd even argue that 10 as it started out was the best since xp. Of course now 10 has been fully enshitified but it used to be good.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 33 points 1 month ago

I would agree that 10 was very good, but i could say similar things about windows 11 which in many ways performs better then 10.

And yet its shortly after upgrading to 11 that i switched to linux to never look back.

I think part of the logic in this meme is that it doesn’t matter how good the basic functions of the operating system are but what does is the design philosophy of the company. Loyalty in other systems decreased while Loyalty in windows gained.

Microsoft force feeding edge, onedrive, burrying the local account option till after the install with Microsoft account.

Randomly finding an update put a second weather widget on my taskbar that shows a different weather then the one in start. Taskbar icons that cant be closed, only hidden.

These things don't affect the OS functionality in a big deal but its like i was in an abusive relationship that i finally got out of. No matter how much sweet talking and promises to do better i am not going back.

How can you so batantly skip over Win 7? I've heard some argue 10 was better (it wasn't) but that 7 >> XP was pretty undisputed.

All three are shit compared to Linux, of course (Arch btw).

There isn't an universe where 8 was better than 10.

[-] Vivendi@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

8 was INCREDIBLY fast

It also used little resources and it was the last time Microsoft pulled a massive dev effort to modernize almost everything in Windows, significantly evolving it's display and rendering pipeline and making a whole different design language

8 touch interface was also by far the best touch interface I've used

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

They also forced the touch-like interface onto computers that didn't have a touch screen.

The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.

Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.

Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It's all of Win10's worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it's own bullshit and spyware on top

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Windows 10 should be a dead cat bounce on this chart. Better than 8, worse than 7, better than 11 by a lot.

Wait, did you write an actual function for that graph?

[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes

The Windows function is

cos(pix) + 1

The Linux function is

0.05x^2 - 1/2 cos(pix)
[-] M600@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Dude, I am all for people trying and stuff.

I can tell that you are just starting out in the graph game, and that is cool and all. But compare to OP yours looks terrible. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to save you from the embarrassment.

Take another look at OPs graph and pay attendtion to the different thickness in the lines and the unpredictable curves.

10 and 11 are waaaaaaaay better than 8. But meme is meme.

Windows 10 on the same level as ME and Vista?.. And worse than 8 with that fucking Metro UI?

Ok. Ok.....oh...kay.

Look I like Linux and want to eventually abandon windows for it, but this is just mindless circle jerking here

[-] SloganLessons@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

This meme says:

  • windows 8 somehow is more beloved than Windows 10 (lmao)
  • linux is just one single OS, instead of an agglomerate of hundreds of distributions
  • and implies that every single one of them got better with time (lmao)

Are you implying that win10 is worse than win8?

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Yea, I'd say Win10/11 is on the same good/shit cycle as always

Though whether Win12 breaks it and continues the shitty trend is highly likely at this point

Saying Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8 is just nonsense. Saying macOS is worse now than 5 years ago is… just dumb? And the colour scheme doesn't make any sense, why is the red at macOS literally higher than the green?

Windows has commited a sin()

[-] youngalfred@lemm.ee 40 points 1 month ago

Vista wasn't that bad. The dodgy selling it on computers that couldn't handle it was an issue (much like they still do with selling laptops with only 32gb storage).

I still think it was one of the nicest looking - black taskbar with the start button sticking up, sidebar widgets, aero glass etc

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 24 points 1 month ago

It was never stable for me. I remember I had a laptop that would always refuse to shut down because "shutdown.exe" was running

Then, why it has ads on start menu?

[-] grill@thelemmy.club 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And half of the settings moved from old control panel to a new crappy UI settings. At least commit and move all of them.

I never find what I am looking for in there, without opening and closing a bunch of windows. I swear they regularly move location of some settings. Search function is pretty bad too.

Never had any ads in 10 or 11

I would put win8 lower and win10 as a slight rise but not up to win 7 territory and then plummet. osx should plummet with the iosification of it.

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

This is less how OSes evolved and more a line of your perception of Windows. Guess windows 7 was your last one.

[-] De_Narm@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

The colouring is shit, MacOS turns red at its peak. So, was it good or bad at that moment?

10 was way way better than 8 though.

Are you implying that macOS is the best OS, because its arrow is the highest in the graph?
