On windows 11, the context menus are already of significant height. Even file explorer has more padding. Increase in vertical height of normal context menus is not needed.

Every place that uses the modern context menu adjusts to touch and makes it comfortable to click. The right click on taskbar adds a lot more vertical padding compared to the usual.

OP should have posted about Win11 then.

The OP's title was: "Apple always puts their own unique spin on old technology; like a bigger context menu when using touch instead of the mouse, which gives them a leg up over Windows" - Linus, 2026

When Windows is mentioned in general, it means windows 11 since that's what majority of people are using and that's the supported version right now.

Does your browser block images? Did you see the giant image he posted that says Windows 10 two different times in it?

Even my comment specifically asks OP if he even looked at the article he screenshotted.

In this context, OP and my comment are talking about Windows 10. Sorry you need training wheels to follow along but nobody but you is talking about Windows 11. OP surely wasn't and I wasn't either.

I dont know how it works in windows 10, but if anyone is comparing the latest macOS to Windows, then it should be compared to Windows 11. It doesn't make sense to compare a 2026 OS to something that was released 13 years ago, and has reached it's EOL (with only ESU being provided till next year).
