I don't think this is a realistic assessment of the problem. Windows 11 slremains very much recognizable since the Windows 7 days, and the transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 was seamless. Moreso with walled gardens like macOS.

In the meantime you can't sneeze in the direction of a mainstream windows manager for Linux without it introducing radical changes, not to mention how all distros are heavily fragmented and sometimes even customized.

Windows "streamlined" the taskbar so much that it allows for exactly 11 icons.

In my experience tons of office jobz require you to have 20-30 windows open. And you switch through them constantly.

So this streamlining murders productivity.

You can try to change it withan external program, ut good luck doing that on a corporate computer.
