Somebody needs to find whoever was responsible for the original NT task manager and learn a thing or two. That thing was bulletproof. I had servers over the years that were so broken nothing else would run but you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and tada!

And it’s really good, has some fun stories from the early days at Microsoft
Steps to fix:
- Shut down your pc.
- Install a proper OS, i.e. a linux distribution.
- Be happy.

Real talk though, how long ago was that? Linux has been making improvements at a blistering pace. If it’s been a while, I’d recommend giving it another try soon.

Fair enough. I appreciate you for trying it again every so often and not just holding a grudge because of a bad experience 5 or 10 years ago. I have faith it’ll “get there” eventually. For some of us it has, but there is obviously a ways to go before it has the ability to grab everyone. :P

For game dev, try Pop OS. it has Nvidia support out of the box. Game dev has always been an issue because either card support is minimal or manufacturer just didn t care about ux for linux despite community plea (,unity s font issue)

I have used manjaro before and liked it a lot. Currently I’m running Garuda, but I have never used vanilla Arch so I’m honestly not 100% sure what extra Garuda brings to the table outside of a pre-customized ui and some “helper” apps - install went butter smooth and updates have been a breeze and I think that is thanks to Garuda specificly.
Personally a big fan of KDE plasma. The DE in popos was my biggest detractor but that’s just personal preference. It also probably helps that I’m on an all AMD system.
Nvidia not publishing proper open source drivers -> Linux bad

Does linux have guis at all? I mean it’s just a kernel.

There is a reason why the task manager was largely unchanged until windows 11.
I dunno, the Win10 version seems pretty neutered compared to previous versions.
Install Task Manager Manager
What’s the point of even “modernising” task manager?
Normies that would care about task manager being too ugly probably don’t know it even exists.
There goes the last dependable program that Windows had to offer

now install gentoo
Okay, I don’t think Gentoo is the best OS for beginners
But
I think people new to computers (yes, I mean kids) should be handed a computer booted off a gentoo image with the handbook and wiki.
Start > Run > taskkill /F /IM:taskmgr.exe
wait a little bit, electron is still loading…
Power supply… You’re next option is to remove the power supply from the computer… With a chainsaw.
I may be taking slightly drastic action.
There is a developer setting that enables “kill task” in the task bar right-click menu. I recommend enabling it. I believe this is new since I just found out about it. It may only be in Windows Insider Dev Channel and/or Windows 11 Enterprise version, I’m not sure.
Same feeling of an extinguisher catching fire
It took me some time to realize this was windows 11
Time for good ol’ Ctrl-Alt-Del…
Er… I mean, time to hit the good ol’ reboot button.
