Windows 11 Discussion Thread
|
Rollout is scheduled for October 5th. However plenty of people have been able to give it a try already via the Insiders program. So here's a thread to discuss it
Is it good? Is it bad? Is it just a load of hot air? Will it magically let your run Crysis at max settings? Will it make Cortana sexy, or at least tolerable? Here's the minimum system requirements btw - Processor: 64-bit architecture at 1 GHz or faster; Intel: eight-generation or newer; AMD Ryzen 3 or better; Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c or higher RAM: 4 GB or higher Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 Graphics card: Direct X12 or later capable; WDDM 2.0 driver or newer Display: High-def (720p) display, larger than 9″ diagonal in size, 8 bits per colour channel (or better) Last bumped on Nov 18, 2021, 2:10:19 PM

When MS ends support for Windows 10, I'm moving 100% to Linux.

"It's fine. The UI is a bit cleaner, and the Start menu and such are definitely improved (better organized, less junk, less empty space). Why Widgets needed to make a comeback is quite beyond me though. Virtual desktops are much improved. Far less clunky to set up, and some nice new features and usability upgrades. Probably not a big deal for most, but it is something I make use of. Gaming has been mostly the same for me so far. Maybe slightly improved load times for a few things, but no huge difference. I'm on a pretty high-end system though, so that's likely why. Auto-HDR is nice. "Lol... "Cortana is pretty much MIA unless you decide to turn her on manually. I haven't and have no intention of doing so. I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.

I don´t care about it, until it is actually out and officially released.

" Release was on October 5th. It's been out for a while already... | |

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. It's ok to be white

" I was thinking about that, too. It might be a good idea to install it soon (next to Win 10) to gain some experience, see what is necessary to play some games etc., before I must rely on it. I have already seen YT-Videos for PoE/Linux that looked fine. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJzi0l8aP0 I really don´t like what big companies do nowadays, where algorithms lead you too (in more than one way). Always seems to me like legalized crime. And I don´t really want to be forced to turn of any surveillance software manually to get good fps and less lags like I had to with Win 10. obey - consume - marry and reproduce - submit - watch t.v. - trust the internet - conform - do not question authority - sleep - buy - do not think - die __________________________________________________________________________ Force always attracts men of low morality. - Albert Einstein Last edited by ___Hengist___ on Oct 11, 2021, 8:19:44 AM

Zorin OS is pretty slick. It's surprising just how many windows apps and games run via Wine. I couldn't get Affinity Designer to work, but the native Linux alternatives have become excellent in recent years.
Micro$oft has bungled this badly and left the door wide open.

" Two things i didnt like about Zorin, windows key brings up a search menu instead of start menu and you cannot make desktop a solid color (I like black). I still like Peppermint best TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 Why does microsoft need core access to our computers? I tried to install a bootleg on an old i7 and it wouldnt, not even gonna worry about it. Vulcan will bring an end to microsoft for most gamers | |

Mint is a great one, for sure. Here's a pretty decent video about Linux gaming featuring POP OS. But the same can be done through plenty of other distros too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQDAXyNkCo
