The scrollable apps is actually the smartest way to stop the taskbar to overflow. If KDE fix their taskbar to scrollable apps, i will move, GNOME has been quite buggy at the moment
I find it rather strange to determine which DE to choose by how it handles lots of icons. Do you have lots of apps open at once? Never happened to me personally.
@@yorimirus not really for me too, but i sometime like to pin so much app to my taskbar. And my school some of the older projector with 4:3, the taskbar will probably messed up if i put so much app on the taskbar that will be okay on 16:9, but not on 4:3
This is why The taskbar is introduced in Windows 95. So it will just scroll rather than cluttering your screen and the task grouping getting introduced in Windows XP

In my opinion, the buttons get smaller than the icon behavior is the most awful way to handle taskbar overflow, the scrollable and folding behavior is the best because it's not being smaller but it just hide and can be exposed with button or mouse hover
This is what I would do when I was like 5. The computer we had at the time ran Windows 98, and I would just open stuff and keep opening stuff, not knowing how to use any of it. Eventually the computer would become really unresponsive.
this guy is underrated, since every app takes like 5-15 seconds to open or less in computers, that means that if every os here [30 total in the amount of icons in the thumbnail] has 100+ apps, possibly even thousands, that means that HOURS and even DAYS of work has been put, respect.
in windows xp/vista/any version with taskbar grouping, what happens if you open so many apps that the number of apps listed has enough digits to overflow the taskbar? you would probably need to open a ludicrous amount of programs, but i would like to see what happens
Windows 10 when clicking on a program in taskbar and there is too much instances of a program to fit on screen (taskbar icons grouped) instances will be in a list instead of their thumbnails
win 10 22h2 or 22h1 when weather and news are displayed taskbar get glitchy and explorer restarts every several seconds and high cpu usage and it's unstable. but it was with classic shell at once so idk.
There's no 22H1. They skipped to 22H2 to match Windows 11's new release cadence. Also, what's the exact number of the build where you're facing the issue? Press Win+R, type "winver", then press Enter and see the OS build number (e.g. 19045.2486)
@@ThatRandomToast probably i mean 21h2 and idk wich build, that wasn't my pc that was dell bussines laptop with quite nice hardware but has these glitches and i was there to fix them so...
@@ThatRandomToast Since Windows 11 doesn't have a H1 for any year, why does it still name them like "21H2", "22H2", "23H3", why not just name them like "Windows 11 2021", "Windows 11 2022", "Windows 11 2023"?
@@World_of_OSes I literally have to navigate between the rows by pressing an up or down arrow ⬆️ ⬇️ off to the right side of the taskbar, near the weather icon.

Most Linux systems can hold around 4294967296 users On Windows it's a lot harder to tell, but I imagine it would be the same or less than on Linux since it has no arbitrary limit :)
@@Sonic21Rus It depends on a lot of factors, but th etechnological limitations are there Myba they were using a slower file system or were on a VM, maybe the account creation process was slower but not impossible to create more
Windows 95-7 (and Windows 10/11) has a Slight Offset in the Resolution... I'm in the Coma, but in Bubble Bobble Style. The Screen DPI and Screen Size is Entirely Different, what's even? Too Many Programs that don't fit in the Pockets!! (Taskbar)
It's written using the GTK toolkit so they decided to use G as the first letter. A similar thing exists in the KDE ecosystem with apps starting with K such as Konsole, Kate, KFind, Krita, KCalc, etc

Obviously put together by a habitual Windows user. When it comes to Linux the primary difference starts with the GUI (KDE, GNOME, MATE, Cinnamon etc.) rather than the distro.
I did it, and it just does the same as Ubuntu, which is expected, their dock is a slightly modified version of the Dash to Dock extension the Ubuntu dock is made from
