Can you dock the taskbar to the side yet?

I'm a single issue Windows user over this. Can't believe they removed this in Win 11 and more importantly haven't put it back yet.

This change alone has caused me to reconsider a future on Windows. Who are they building this thing for? OS X already has a better developer story and SteamOS is nearing its inflection point for gaming. What is Windows good at? Having momentum?

WDDM is the best GPU driver model by far. Aero snap is the best implementation of window snapping. DWM is a good compositor. Those are really the only things I can name that I prefer over Linux these days.

only with a regedit. afaik

Which breaks with (most) updates iirc.

I have never had an update break it.

Does it work as well as in Win10 with multiple monitors in different orientations? My expectation is since it's not supported there will be weird quirks and bugs.

No idea, I don't use multiple monitors in different orientations.
