One of my real pet hates with Windows 11 is the fact that you can only have the taskbar on the bottom of the screen. On my personal Linux machines I have it on the left of my leftmost monitor, as I used to with MacOS and in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10

🎉 Looking for new work. 15 years front-end dev + Design Systems specialist. I help folks build, maintain & transform design systems. I'm also available for focused projects, front-end builds, codebase modernisation. Short to long term. Let's chat - stu@alwaystwisted.com reposts appreciated <3
