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
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 really weird, I upgraded to Windows 11 in the hope that was fixed with the 'better' window management, and I haven't had the same issue at all since upgrading. Probably explains why it's so hard to fix bugs in windows, if things get fixed for some but worse for others
Yeah I'd definitely choose Mac over Windows if I had to not use Linux. Although switching back and forth from the Mac keyboard to a "normal" keyboard on Linux would wig me out.
I have a bunch of consoles that I use at work. Most of them use windows. There are two tho that use gnu/Linux. They're used exclusively to run Matlab 🤦
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.
