You’re asking the wrong people. Everyone on here are sweaty for Linux.
Isn’t that the tech tips YouTube guy? What does he have to do with selling 11 windows
I thought it was funny, friend.
hahahahaha, thank you
Linus is the guy in YouTube. Linux is the OS (technically kernel, not OS, but close enough).
looks at date of publication
That has got to be one of the timeliness answers to a question I’ve ever seen on here. Thanks!
Yeah, I just saw the article earlier the same day…it was just…fresh.
A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.
It’s fine for Windows, I guess. They’ve made a bunch of UI improvements that I actually kind of liked. But they still try and force you to setup a Microsoft account when you install. And telemetry is hardly consensual. I think I turned off what I could by rooting around for privacy settings, but it still sends things like crash reports without asking.
I don’t trust it. Just use it for games.
Or don’t even use it for games. Thanks to recent developments users finally have a choice.
Since the question implies a change of state - I’m going to go with a no.
I still can’t drag files to the task bar to open them with a particular program. Tabs on file explorer are a thing, but they don’t behave predictabily so I almost never use them.
Overall still feels like a downgrade, but I’d have updated regardless just to get the little “update available” message to go away
I have been using Windows 11 pro since it came out and it’s fine. I’m not sure why windows is obsessed with trying to replace their older, functional menus with the new style settings apps (which usually just lead back to the old style ones) but I never get reinstalled bloat, ads, or anything remotely like people are complaining about.
For reference I do powershell for a living and use ArchLinux at work, and have windows 11 and arch machines at home, but use windows the most at home.
No. I reverted back to Windows 10 Pro for my gaming machine after Windows 11 Pro prompted me that it was “international bubble tea day”. Don’t get me wrong, I love bubble tea, I just don’t care for these distractions when I’m trying to use my PC.
Lol
I only changed from windows 11 to Linux mint there over the weekend. I was sick of having to update the laptop every day when I wanted to shut it down
Bought days gone (game) on steam. Would not launch on windows 11. Tried to get a refund. But it had been two weeks. Launch d it on my steam deck and it worked great.
So. No… It’s sucks.
lol when a windows game wont launch on windows but works on linux. what a time to be alive.
My main gaming rig is 100% linux now. It gets better performance in most games than windows.
That sounds like an issue with Days Gone not Windows. I’m running fedora as my daily but that doesn’t change the fact that every game I’ve played works on Windows out of the box, the same cannot be said for Linux.
It works fine. It’s just you. The year of linux is every year.
Never will be my friend.
Use Linux.
It’s fine for Windows. I highly recommend coughing up the money for the pro version so you actually control some of the OS, since MS decided to remove things like the group policy editor from regular users. You’ll need that if you don’t want Windows shoving updates down your throat all the time.
I like the UI more then Windows 10. I don’t know why reddit had such a hard on for 10 but 11 is much faster and more responsive than 10 was.
Windows is always faster and more responsive once you reinstall it, it doesn’t matter the version lol. I’m due for a proper nuking myself, now that I think about it.
It still gets slower with time? I remember how it used to do that in the 90s too, and you had to reinstall once in a while to get your speed back. Lol.
Maybe I’m just lucky, but I have not experienced Windows 10 or 11 getting slower with time at all.
Did they ever fix the bug with high polling rate mice where the computer would become extremely non responsive if you tried dragging a window? I used Windows 11 for 6 months and they wouldn’t fix that issue, so I wiped it clean and installed Windows 10.
Is polling rate the same as dpi? If so I can test it later today because my mouse has adjustable dpi.
I got an ad even though I have all ad service things turned off. It came via my messages tray. It was for some screenshot app Microsoft wanted me to use.
If this doesn’t answer your question, I can’t be of much help.
I only use Windows for gaming, upgraded from 10 to 11 and have zero issues.
