According to the developers, Rebound 11 does not modify any essential system files but offers plenty of new toys for power users to experiment with. After a "simple" installation process, the tool introduces its own WinUI apps that change several aspects of the Windows 11 experience. The package includes a couple of WordPad-style text editors, a modern file explorer, a redesigned Control Panel for managing system settings, and more.

The world if volunteer developers contributed the time to foss projects instead of "fixing windows"

This tool is FOSS, what do you really mean

The tool is foss, the purpose for its existence is not. What I really mean is volunteer devs spending time subsidizing a three Trillion dollar private business with free labor isn't ideal. There's many other projects where the time could be better spent, projects that can benefit everyone, now and in the future.

This isn't strictly directed at devs of this tool, every month there's a new "Fix11, "New W11", "11 Decrapifier" tool released and everyone nods along like this is okay.

I always find these pictures of green utopian urban landscapes to be pretty dystopic. Maybe I'm jaded by the never ending development artists sketches and models that look really green and idyllic that are complete bullshit.

This one in particular looks like AI crap. Which seems like what we get when we use Windows so maybe that's genius?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

yeah this one in particular looks awully impractical, it looks like its designed for cars (bad) but everyone is walking (???)

I'd be careful as Microsoft might push an update the breaks the system with installed.

It is very frustrating to see how far people will go to fix an operating system "that just works"

Indeed, Linux developers unhappy with a single GUI shouldn't create different ones, since Linux just works too.
