Fuck me amigaos is so ugly. Looks like someone with shit in their eyes used a mac for 5 minutes then proceeded to drink half a bottle of vodka and recall the experience.
Put it into the context of the era from which it came. When I first saw an Amiga back in the late 80s I was blown away. It could display stunning full color graphics in the era when Macs were still relying on a tiny built in monochrome display and most PCs had either Hercules monochrome or CGA with that godawful pink, light blue, yellow and white palate. The problem is that development pretty much ceased not long after that, Amiga OS is still essentially frozen in time more than 30 years ago.

Meh. I bought a 32 bit ARM desktop back then (Acorn A440) which made the Amiga look like a joke.
What replaced it? Well a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 with two Pentium Pro 200 CPUs, 128Mb of RAM, 4.3Gb SCSI hard disk and Windows NT4.
What do you think of tiling window managers for Linux in relation with dual/triple monitors?
Are they the platforms of choice for everything else? I tried to find me a PDF editor for linux, again, happy to hand over money, I got a trial for a program that was god awful and did not count as it could not properly deciper the PDF and allow me to edit text with every word being split into multiple text boxes.... On windows i have many options. All other programs claiming to be PDF editors were all lying as all they banged on about was adding notes to a PDF not editing the original text.
If I understand him right, his point is about being able to freely assign virtual desktops to monitors. Opening a window on a specific desktop is supported also by non-tiling WMs. Same for maximizing a window on a specific monitor. The drawback he forgot to mention is that he can't have a window across two or more monitors. Neither can he have neighboring areas of multiple desktops on a monitor, i.e. the virtual desktops are basically jointless tiles of a large virtual screen and you can move around freely or jump to the next tile.
Also vim!
The tying of keyboard layouts to languages, lack of custom layouts, and inability to switch layout without also switching language is a major annoyance. I mean, how do you type √2 in Windows? What language has a layout that includes √? On Mac this is found on the standard US keyboard layout, by pressing Opt-V. I would assume it's present on ALL the layouts. And if you want to you can create your own (though you need a utility to do so) - the keyboard switching switches layouts, unlike Windows which switches languages. But this sentence is in English. There is no other language. Even if it included the phrase "the characteristic impedance is 100Ω", that's still entirely English despite the "greek" letter Ω.
I don't care much about the TPM requirement, either to or fro. If it makes software license management more streamlined, less of a hassle, and effective then I suppose I'm all for it.
My personal beefs with Windows 10 in general though don't seem to be changed or fixed in Windows 11.

I still can't rearrange the virtual desktops. Sometimes you work on one thing, at other times something else. For example, you have three desktops. On desktop two from the left you open KiCad. You open the schematic editor. Then you want documentation on a separate desktop. So you add another - it will now be all the way to the right with a bunch of stuff inbetween, and there is no way to simply rearrange it like you would on MacOS. You get to open task switcher (Win-Tab) and sit and move individual windows around.
And, with the soon 7 desktops given a few different things you're working on, the next time the F*NG thing updates it's all blown away.
Makes me wonder if Windows users actually use computers for work, or if all they do is play games and browse...
