This below is windows 11 consistency, within their own os context menus. I am not even starting on the fact that window decorations there too are a non standardised mess.
I agree that lack of UI consistency is less than ideal, and very real in Linux, but let’s not pretend that this is a main issue stopping people from migrating (from an equally inconsistent OS)
It’s sad that this gets downvoted to hell. As a MacOS user who appreciates beautiful UI, this is a major pain point for me on Linux.
And yes, Windows is the absolute worst at this.
How is a kernel meant to enforce anything about UI?
I think GUI development should favour server-side decorations for consistency’s sake, but this is more of a cultural thing with what application developers are choosing to do, rather than anything “Linux” can do about.
This is the kind of shit that stops people from migrating to Linux.
Lack of consistency in the UI. We’re in 2025 dammit. Not 1995.
Edit: okay, WTF Windows is now even worse?!?

Okay Windows has gone to shit way more than I thought in the last 10 years.
Oh yeah, I am forced to use it for work and it’s just incredible how innovative Microsoft is at making things worse. Takes real talent at that point.
Yea… not to mention the file browser context menu takes five seconds to open for me (on a very high end machine!)

Same.
