Windows 11 Discussion Thread

11 rly bad and bugged as hell...

I’m not sure if I’ll install Win11. As much as I’m always interested in playing around with the shiny new thing, I don’t see myself daily driving Windows again - so the SSD space is difficult to justify. It’s probably been nearly ten years since I primarily or exclusively used Windows.

I’ve been using Solus for a while, but my recommendation for new Linux folks would have to be Pop!_OS. It being based on Ubuntu but with a team between you and Canonical to filter out their more questionable ideas will make for a very comfortable introduction to Linux.

If you try Pop!_OS and it’s not your thing visually, you can either install Cinnamon or KDE for a more familiar desktop paradigm, or use extensions such as Dash to Panel and Arc Menu to achieve the same effect. There’s pros and cons to both. Using Gnome extensions is probably more newbie friendly.

ran the verification program, it said i can't upgrade to 11 with a local profile but have to open an operating system account in russia, no in china, no in america.

yeah, nty

i just don't see a reason for now, everything on my pc runs fine as is with windows 10, ill upgrade eventually but i am in no rush.
As a matter of fact i think it's always good to w8 a few months with stuff like this.

I waited until the last month of free upgrade to Win 10 before I moved my (4) PCs to it.
I will do the same with Win 11.

Good luck! Although I've also heard it performs better if you do a clean install instead of an upgrade from Windows 10. So maybe consider putting it in that way.

Clean install would be a PITA for me at the mo (no DVD drive and can't be arsed fecking about with a bootable USB).

Now on Windows 11 and it hasn't exploded or imploded yet :)

Terrible version of Windows, it's the new Windows 8. The taskbar rework is a joke, the requirements are a joke! Stay with Windows 10 until it's dead or switch to Linux. I've already switched to Linux completely. Just in case your worried, PoE runs just as well with Vulkan and Proton Experimental.
