      Not sure when they added it, but you can get dark mode on it. The path for me: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 19\Common7\IDE the file you need to modify is ssms.pkgundef and the line has a comment above it that says //Remove Dark Theme

      Just comment the line. Boom

      Edit: I have a very new edition of ssms (some version of 19) so YMMV

        I saw a tutorial that showed that. Problem is I don’t have permission to that folder. Work computer.

          Ngl also one argument against Windows is that the user doesn’t have full control on the file system by default.

          I can’t just remove Edge for example, I have to use a script which disables it, but the space will never be freed.

            I run Linux everywhere but work for that reason. Don’t worry, I asked work, but got denied. 😞

    Counterpoint: at least it’s not Windows 11. I don’t care if it’s prettier if it’s less functional and more buggy. Plus, I hear it steals design cues and features from KDE, although it seems that stealing commonplace features from Linux Desktop Environments is think that’s been ongoing, if I remember correctly.

      They brought back the bug where if you change your monitor configuration (by unplugging a laptop from a dock), some windows will be off-screen. Windows 10 used to have a workaround for that: Alt+Tab until that window is focused, then Win+Arrows to move it back into the visibile area.

      But not on windows 11 because for some asinine reason it stops rendering those off-screen applications. The preview in the Alt+Tab menu is empty and killing the application is all you can do unless that specific application has a way to minimize to tray. It’s absolutely infuriating.

    That’s why I use whatever I want and remote into my work machine to do the things I can’t get away with on my personal one.

    Try seeing if you can switch to Linux. I didn’t expect to succeed while working at Microsoft, but I haven’t had to use Windows in over a year now.

        Yep. I presume the people in the Windows org have to use Windows, But I work in the Azure org, where people are pretty gung ho about Linux.

    I just got a BSOD the other day. Haven’t seen one of those things in a while.

    It gave me a link which told me to just search for how to fix a BSOD on some windows computer help tool (wait, what I have a BSOD) which then sent me to another link…cool.

    Just run windows in a VM on Linux or the other way around so you can still use Linux features. Or WSL if you like selling your soul to Microsoft
