Windows 11 Officially Shuts Down Firefox’s Default Browser Workaround

I updated to 11 on my laptop but kept 10 on my main machine. I see zero reason to update my main computer to 11. I was willing to give centered start button a try but the fact that you can't turn off grouping of applications in the taskbar is a deal breaker. If I have two firefox windows open I want to know it and to be able to pick which one I want without having to hover my mouse over the icon for a second while the picture of the windows pops up.

So I installed Explorer patcher to get the old taskbar back https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

Other than that the only feature of 11 that I have used is the snap zones. And I guess if I want that I can install the power toy it is based on.

  Enabling the Windows Subsystem for Linux to include support for Wayland and X server related scenarios

  

The "wslg" version of WSL, which comes with a Wayland display server built-in, is perhaps a driver.

The github page still says it requires Windows 11: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Though I suppose it's possible they've also pushed it to the insider builds for Windows 10.

> And yet most people keep trusting them with their code on Github.

Honestly, from what I've seen many people don't see the issue with this. "The code is public anyway, so what difference does it make?"

I'm starting to see the downsides of that viewpoint now, though[0]. If GitHub, and by extension Microsoft, technically 'own' the code (licensing, etc.) then they have free reign over it, leading to things like Copilot and Intellicode.
