#Windows11's new #StickyNotes app (a thinly disguised #OneNote) is fucking annoying. Since it is so-called "smart", and it attempts to provide context around the "source" of your note, its window is…

Windows 11 sticky notes app showing a note I just made. It captured the fact that before switching TO it, I was working in a browser window.
If I tab AWAY, unless I blow it open to its own little subwindow, the note itself closes (which I guess is reasonable). And for some reason the "+Note" and "Screenshot" buttons now appear. The addition of these buttons now shifts my list of notes down, visually disruptive.
If I tab to another application (or back to a browser as here), that "Recent notes" label changes to "Your notes from <Vivaldi icon> <name of webpage> - Vivaldi". Which is yet ANOTHER visual disruption out of the corner of my eye.
And there's a setting called "Remember the source: Automatically capture the active window information to help you remember better." with a checkbox. If you uncheck this box, the stupid label change remains, all that stops is where the top of your note has a snip of `Source: <what window you had open>`. The visual disruption of that label changing, and having the +Note/Screenshot buttons appear and disappear all the time is annoying AF.

Day 1 with #Windows11 on my work laptop. Moving windows between screens reproducibly crashes (and thereby resets) the Windows Explorer.
I have now downloaded Explorer to be able to actually work.
#Fun

🐧 Linux, c'est la liberté… sauf si ton CPU est un peu trop vintage 😏
On rigolait bien de #Microsoft avec #Windows11 et ses restrictions TPM 2.0
Mais voilŠ que mon pauvre processeur #Intel i5-2430M est menacé de finir aux oubliettes sous Linux.
⛔💻 Liberté ? Oui, mais sous conditions... 🙃

I have a relatively new #ASUS ProArt13 laptop where I still have a #Microsoft #Windows installation so I can keep upgrading its firmware (I planned removing it once I have a stable #Linux distro with kernel >= 6.14).
I'm surprised by how unstable it is. Just leaving it doing nothing for more than 10 minutes is enough to trigger a #BlueScreenOfDeath (I can reproduce the issue). If I keep doing stuff, it does not crash.
At this point I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's fault or ASUS'... but I suspect the blame falls on Windows side (nothing like that happens on my Linux installation).
