    1. I like newest OS versions. Visually I do like it better as well. Kind of wish I could get back rectangular design though, not a fan of rounded corners, but that is very minor thing. When I say nothing much has changed, I mean the backend, backwards compatibility. Everything you know about Windows since 8.1 still applies + some additional features, improvements.
    2. Do not have ads. Maybe because I am in Europe or maybe because I have Education (Same as Pro Enterprise) license or because I am using local and not MS account.
    3. Do not care about telemetry. Have disabled most "personalization" things. I am fine with MS collecting random basic telemetry like HW inventory / SW crashes or whatever they collect.

  • For the most part there is practically no difference between 10 and 11 minus changes in UI and higher HW requirements. If someone liked 10, do not see why 11 would be different. Same in theory could be said about 8.1 and 10. Most of the UI changes are better IMO, but there are some annoyances mainly related to taskbar.

    I believe the only thing that many could dislike and have impact on daily work, would be the new context menu. It can be swapped to old one, but as of now there is no easy setting / toggle for that.


  • I just now realized your problem, was not aware there is difference between opening linked post from your own instance VS using original post URL.

    Search in your own instance should be the only possible solution as someone else described earlier. Found this GitHub issue already discussing this problem.

    I now wonder if each instance caches/duplicates all content from other instance posts or it just downloads it on demand.

    Would still recommend Sync instead of browser though. This was one of the most popular Reddit clients before API change and pretty much the only reason why I stopped using reddit after its closure.

    Edit: lemmy.world is down again, yet I can still browse posts from its communities so looks like each instance does indeed duplicate posts/comments. Wonder about scalability in long term...
