Try KDE Plasma, you can put one clock on your second monitor that opens a calendar...or 10. Whatever you want, really.
.............now I want to open 10 different calanders at once. In different colors. But only use the pink one. I'll close the other 9, and grumble "GOD DAMN COMPUTER!!! WHY DON'T THEY FIX THIS SHIT???"
And again.....only use the pink one.

That's great, but like, this was a native and very obvious feature in Windows 10 and every other Windows that I remember, and they somehow chopped it and never replaced it.
So was unlocking the taskbar and dragging it to the left side of the screen, now you literally can't. Apparently you can modify it via registry but half the buttons stop working because it isn't designed for that.
Crazy that that was what made me switch years ago....

And yet i still can't click on icons on the taskbar to bring up a window that is behind another. Gotta use "alt+tab" until I get to the window I want to show up. At first I just thought it was my PC at work but I later found out that it's every PC in the entire building. It's absolutely infuriating that features that've worked for 30 years are now suddenly broken in Windows 11. I started migrating to Linux for my home PC and it has only made me hate Windows even more when I go into work.
Weird, I only get this with windows hello.
But seriously windows 11 has so many shitty fucking bugs. All my computer's except my work computer are mac or Linux. It really opens the eyes to how poorly built windows is these days.

MS also recently shared that they lost 400 million Windows users. I bet most of them were Windows 10 users. This isn't "people finally moved from 10 to 11",, this is "people finally got so fed up with Windows that they abandoned it for other options" (mostly mobile/tablet but also some Linux and OS X).
400 million windows devices not users.

Microsoft killing the desktop with 0 innovation
Oh they're "innovating" just not for the benefit of their users

That's why windows 11 overtook windows 10, people just got rid of their windows 10 devices

I have no idea why windows 11 axed that and it just makes the UX worse. It doesn't even make it simpler for noob users.

Same difference. If someone has a Windows 10 device and got rid of it, but didn't purchase a Windows 11 device to replace it, they're no longer a Windows user. Sure they could have had multiple Windows devices for some reason, but it's rare for someone to own more computers than they have potential users to operate them (barring things like schools or companies that maintain a fixed pool of devices, although even they try to avoid having significant excess inventory). So yes, fewer Windows devices is to within a certain margin of error fewer Windows users.

You're joking but you could totally have 10 digital (or analog) clocks - in different time zones if you want - that popup a calendar with events from one or multiple of 10 different calendars in different colors and you can also set the popups to stay pinned until manually closed if you want to. KDE's widget system is extremely versatile.

It's still an important distinction IMO

Windows 11 is like what, 5 years old now already and just getting the top spot? That's embarrassing.
The only way now for Windows 11 to infect my computer is when Valve cuts Windows 10 support from Steam.

No, they didn't. This community read too much into a blog post that stated "over 1 billion," compared it against an old blog post from several years ago that stated a more precise number of "1.4 billion" and came to the hasty conclusion that they must have lost 400 million users.
Microsoft has since updated their blog post to clarify that it's now "over 1.4 billion."
Edit: downvotes, really? Can't even correct misinformation in this community anymore?

Yeah, in general Windows 11 just assumes a lot of things "for" the user, and if you don't like it you're often out of luck or have to resort to third party tools to restore previous functionality.
It sounds like Mac OSX

Yeah, and its most likely only due to them killing Windows 10 in the fall, which means a lot of companies have been working hard this year to replace a ton of computers before October. Anyone who has been down this road with 7 to 10 knows it will just cost more money if you need to continue support after that. They sell you a new license thats good for a year that will allow updates to continue. It doubles in cost every year after.
