Windows 11 was better than 10 aesthetically tho?

I'll take an ugly OS that works properly over a gorgeous one that doesn't any day of the week.

I agree. But I'd rather have both a gorgeous OS that also works well.

Sure, but how much time do you really spend looking at the OS UI rather than that of the games and applications you're running when everything is going smoothly?

Very little in my case, so beauty is very low on my list of priorities for an OS of all things.

I don't play games. The only real customization I do to how the UI looks, is to put it in dark mode. Because of these, and some other factors, the OS UI is front and center for me. So, I would like a beautiful, yet highly usable, OS. Something that just works well for my use cases, and looks good doing it.

My preferred OS may not be your preferred OS. And, you know what? I like that. It means that we get a choice in look and feel, we're not all stuck on the same OS, and we get to learn how others use computers and other people's preferences in UI. It's awesome!

Vista was better aesthetically than Windows xp, it was still dog shit.

Also, heavily disagree. Literally the only good thing windows 11 did imo was finally unifying some of the settings that were split between the settings app and the OG control panel.

Reddit hivemind is back to downvote any opinion that they disagree with. Like the other commenter said, I prefer functionality in place of design.
Even though I found 11's UI far more polished, the UX is a disaster with yet another refresh of elements that didn't need any changes.

Without unneeded changes we would have the modern desktop experience
