I know it's a little petty, however not being able to move the taskbar has zeroed out any interest I had in using Windows 11. I'm a huge fan of moving the taskbar/dock to the left vertical side of the screen, especially so on a 16:9 screen.

It isn't petty, it is indicative of an incompetent development team. We have been able to move the taskbar since Windows 95, but apparently whoever Microsoft hires to work on Windows UI these days can't figure it out. Lord knows what else those yahoos have fucked up.

Probably some "yagni" Scrum master/PO aggressivly cutting corners in the planning phase to save story points, but on the end adding work for removing the feuture from the old code.

I would bet more on a standard a 49" 5120x1440 monitor and they didn't even realize the need of that basic productive feature.

[bserge]

Yeah I do the same. Can't believe it's not possible in 11.

Someone will probably make a quick fix that returns tat functionality heh

I've recently embraced my petty little self dinking around with Manjaro Sway.

Changing a line in a config file to put the waybar anywhere I please, and storing that config file in a dotfiles repo so that the next time I need to set up a machine. Bliss.

If you are ok with manual changing a non-GUI config to change your GUI then technically the taskbar in Windows 11 is relocatable. It requires a Windows registry change.
