Only Microsoft wants to upgrade. A product without a market in a monopoly is capitalism end game.
Windows 11 blue screens on my desktop on the very first boot right after installation.
tried to upgrade, it knocked me back to w10 and broke my sound driver
I’m still on win10. Planning on hopping over this one Linux-based operating system for gaming specifically (can’t remember its name) once the updates for Win10 run dry. I’ve heard so much bad stuff about 11 that I’m going to try again with Linux (years ago I jumped in Ubuntu since a friend recommended it but I needed to jump back because games didn’t work well).
I ran POP-OS for about six months a couple of years ago and ended up switching back to Windows because there were too many compromises. Recently I tried it again with the same problems but jumped to Bazzite instead. It fixed most of my issues but I didn’t like the limitations imposed by the guardrails it put in place to make things easy. I then switched to Fedora since that is Bazitte’s base and haven’t looked back. The only issue I’ve had is the video drivers didnt install right automatically but the fix was three well documented commands.
Debian, I believe.
Bazzite and nobara are the two I think. I am using Bazzite and am quite happy. Good luck
Yes, it was Bazzite 😊 It was recommended by a friend.
PopOS?
Bazzite 😁
My work computer is on W11. Notifications got much worse, and moved to a harder-to-reach shortcut. There’s a persistent bug with maximization, in which many forms of apps will suddenly take over the region normally reserved for the taskbar (no, I’m not referring to full screen modes) that so far as I can tell can only be fixed by logging out.
The UI is worse, making settings pages even more confusing. Windows Explorer has dived deep into iconography, while still not being clear about what those icons mean. The new context menus are missing options, so they need an extra one to go back to W10’s options.
This is of course setting aside their blatant lies about “It’s not spyware we promise we promise”, among so many other hundreds of problems. I’m doomed to stay on W10 for now to finish a project, but afterwards, I’ll be finding a distro I prefer.
My work computer had to be upgraded to 11
Why does my fucking file explorer stop responding so much?
I don’t understand how they fucked this up so badly
GUI elements in the taskbar on a shared work computer or any of the new UI style like to just disappear on hover. Or at random. Or only appear on hover.
Its a pretty recent Lenovo system with a Quadro, a 4k scaled and 1080p monitor. It doesn’t do it when IT remotes in, ever.
Work upgraded my computer from 10 to 11 and now switching between desktops is noticeably slower
I more surprised by how slow the start menu is. It’s absolutely incredible. Windows 7 start bar was faster on my core 2 duo with spinning hdd both to open and search than windows 11 on my 9800X3D with nvme ssd.
Windows shoving AI down everyone’s throats lead me to Linux. First Debian, then Fedora. BTW I’m using Arch now. I love AI, but giving Microsoft full access to my entire file system by force rubs me the wrong way.
Same. I run a dual-boot with Linux Mint, but have a windows installation for gaming. I do 99% of my computing on Linux now.
I moved to Linux thanks to their enshittification. I’m kicking myself I didn’t do it years ago. Linux is how an OS should be.
Welcome to linux bro
*Downgrade
Win 11 is a downgrade.
Windows convinced me to upgrade to Linux :D
They can’t convince me to switch to Win 11 because apparently my computer isn’t good enough.
I forced a win 11 upgrade on my old Lenovo laptop and it’s been running mint 🤟
If you use Rufus to create a USB stick, there is an advanced option to disable the TPM check. So it’s just an extra checkbox.
Bro they couldn’t convince me to upgrade to Windows 8.
- Worse drivers.
- More bloat.
- More “telemetry” (spyware and adware).
- It breaks a ton of the systems I’ve had to implement by sheer force.
Why the FUCK would I do that? Just to give microsoft more money? Go and FUCK yourself.
Don’t forget AI shoved down your throat that takes goddamn screen captures without any care of what sensitive infor,ation may be displayed and processes it to reme,bet everything your do. It’s goddamn 1984.
Microsoft also works with American intelligence, like other corporations. They won’t even fix zero day exploits without first letting the NSA know in advance. Telecoms have black rooms whose entire purpose is to siphon data directly to the authorities, Microsoft probably has a whole building.
Speaking of which… What’s the least invasive way of installing Windows 11?
My main desktop has a Linux and Windows 10 dual-boot setup, but I was thinking about switching to something like Windows To Go when Windows 10 hits EOL, only to find that WTG is no longer supported. I’ve heard that it’s still possible to make a bootable Windows 11 USB using Rufus, but that it’s somehow finicky or buggy…
I’m not sure if using a VM is a viable option for me, as I would probably need GPU passthrough and I really only have space for a single GPU in my current case (that would be used by my Linux host).
Am I stuck dual-booting?
My gaming computer runs Windows 11. I honestly couldn’t tell you the difference between Windows 10 and 11.
