I just upgraded to 12 (Debian), highly recommend it's bigger number than bleb winblows
This is a joke I guess, but actually the new debian release is pretty sweet. Plasma is getting real good these days, if you care about that sort of thing.
I would recommend OpenSuse 15.5. Python3.6 is very old, but the version number is even higher and it works flawlessly
No, as a man of culture I use Linux.
(Lol just gotta get a dig in, can't resist. I know gaming isn't 100% there yet but Steam and their Proton are making great strides in recent years.)
Agreed. I laugh at these peasant frivolities.
Man I know, I tried linux about 3-4 months ago and it is getting so much better. If I wasn't on an nvidia card I would probably be running fedora full time.
When Linux can do Dolby Atmos/DTS:X for games I'll switch back. Audio is still a weak point for me under Linux. :(
Switched to 11 when it came out and haven't looked back. I'm also one of those weirdos that uses Edge browser in Linux....
Edge in Linux is a crime against humanity.
Repent sinner 😂
Find me a browser that does vertical + pinned tabs as good as Edge does and I will repent ;)
Have you tried brave with vertical tabs
I will give it a shot, thanks!
Have you tried Vivaldi?
Yeah I was a long time Vivaldi user. I'm also one of those crazy people that paid for Opera browser. Would kill to see a modern 9.x
Will have to check out Vivaldi again haven't used it in a while.
I run UW and the way Edge handles vertical tabs and pinning is really second to none.
Lol fair enough.
I have tried vertical tabs but I could never stick with them. For me it was a mix of muscle memory (moving mouse UP to get to tabs), and taking up too much screen real estate (especially on my small 13 inch work laptop).
this is the way...
nope. absolutely will only update when i "have" to
With significant modifications under the hood (massive Registry changes for the Windows Explorer folder tree to simplify it back to rational XP standards... no libraries, nothing except for the hard drive folder tree) and a replacement start menu (StartIsBack, because Open-Shell isn’t working for Win11 yet), and Win11 is actually working quite well for my Octogenarian father. And he’s of the age where change comes very badly for him, which is why I needed to make some serious open-heart surgery on Win11 to modify things back to an XP look-and-feel. But it is doable, it just takes some time and occasional maintenance to ensure it stays usable.
it pretty much just feels like windows 10.1 to me, pretty similar imo but there are a few differences. virtualizing android apps makes it worth it for me.
I've been on it since it released, and other than the UI differences, I haven't even noticed a difference. If anything, it's actually a bit faster.
Every time I think about updating to windows 11 I see something like this lol. first the vr thing and now pirated software not running properly?
The calendar flyout still can't show your agenda, like in Win10. The 'widget' section is still full of unremovable MSM spam. It still installs ad-ware on major updates.
I hate it because of that.
I like TikTok in my startmenu /s

Yeah I'm not a fan of Microsoft's current implementation of widgets. I would just disable them entirely if possible.
You can turn off the widget button on the taskbar, but the Win+W keybind stays.
That's good enough for me. I don't ever hit that key combo for anything that I can think of. But maybe there's a way to unbind it.
You could probably map it to something else with Microsoft powertoys, I think its keybinds take priority over system bindings since I used it to remap the window tiling shortcuts back when I Literally Ever opened my windows partition for anything except VR (I'd wipe it entirely, but I have an oculus headset and those barely work on Linux last I checked)
I've been using Windows 11 for about a solid year now. Had zero issues gaming and using various programs. Transition from 10 was flawless.
I've been daily driving it since release, I don't recall any Win11 specific issues that happened to me, did a reinstall once due to CPU upgrade
Had to do some of my own tweaking of course, like removing that dumb new right click menu, but it just works.
idk, I guess I like being an early adopter, switched to Win8 even before 8.1 came out
5800X3D and 4070 (1070Ti initially) btw
I personally LOVE Windows 11. The new Windows Terminal feature alone is worth the upgrade. Used to Microsoft writing shitty software, but some of their stuff on TCE is great, namely PowerToys and wsl2/gwsl
I'm using Win 11 at my place of work and this is definitely a strong point for me. Terminal is so much nicer than CMD. And I literally use powertoys for nothing more than the Win+Space app search because of muscle memory built from using MacOS.
For what it's worth you can get WindowsTerminal on Win10
I've been on windows 11 for about a year now, so far I've noticed no difference from Windows 10 in terms of cracked games. Come to think of it, I haven't had a single game that didn't run.
Related question, any recommended way to "get" a copy of Windows 11? Assuming no glaring bugs
I dunno my 5 year old laptop has windows 10 and I just used the same key and it activatethe copy of windows 11 I downloaded. Didn't even deactivate my copy if windows 10 so i got to keep both computers activated.
I've always used Rufus to download Windows ISOs. It should let you download the latest major Win 11 release. I just used it last week in fact to make a quick bootable USB at work to reimage a device with 11 on it.
That gets a clean and uncracked copy I think?
It's not activated, if you need to activate it look up Microsoft Activation Scripts, should be a GitHub link
Edit: to properly answer your question, yes it should be clean and uncracked if you download through Rufus.
Awesome thanks. Sounds easy enough.
Here's the GitHub for the activation scripts. Takes like 30 seconds to do it. I'm amazed at how trivial its gotten to pirate Windows
Does anyone else find it kind of funny that a Microsoft service is hosting code to let you use another Microsoft service.
Even better, there’s been a case where Microsoft Support has used it themselves.
And don't forget that time that a Microsoft Support employee used MAS to activate a customer's Windows because the legal/official method wasn't working.
