Using Windows 11?

Postby FrankChag » November 26th, 2021, 7:32 am

Anyone using Win11? Anyone enjoying it?

I upgraded one of my daily driver laptops, and am regretting it constantly. My kids are i-told-you-so'ing me.
Except for the new notepad icon, and the calculator pin-to-top feature, not seeing any real benefit.
The graphical improvements are like a janky linux distro.

The most frustrating thing is with the right-click context menu.. a whole extra click to 'show more options' to unzip files.

It's working well, faster than Windows 10 from my usage so far.

I got the free upgrade too and regretted it. We might have another ME, Vista and 8 on our hands here. 98, XP and 7 were the glory days and 10 to some extent.

Apart from the gimped start menu, I did a fresh install and it is very fast. It's basically windows 10 with a face-lift. I recommend a fresh install as the upgraded install I had before had a couple small issues.

For the right click menu and other useful mods check out winaero tweaker.

I regretted my install of it. My CPU shown a 5-8 degree increase along with bad CPU utilisation. And I'm running a ryzen 5800x so it's no slouch.. my 3070 idle temps are slightly increased as well...

Thank God I have a Windows 10 os on another drive

Gonna wait till this OS matures some more it has alot of optimizations for the new Intel 12th gen chips ... also some issues being reported ... makes no sense running to install it on anything but the latest hardware as other posters says doesnt offer much more than win10.

It's been tested to perform better than windows 10 in some games as well. Performance like butter on my system. 5800h, 3080, 1tb nvme and 16gb ram.

I have to respect Microsoft for being able to support such a wide variety of hardware configs and still have great performance on most of them.

Apple has compete control of hardware and software pairing on a handful of different models so I'm much less impressed with them, especially since they haven't figured out how to properly support gaming

^Have you tried a stable linux distro? Anyways, the apple m1's are definitely wicked.
Honestly looking fwd to the day I can cutover to linux cleanly. And IMO, some of them are nicer than macos.
All the kids can use Linux now, and they actually think it's cooler than windows.
So Windows days are numbered for me, especially with this experience.

This laptops's a Ryzen 9 5900HS with a 3070, and 24GB RAM.
I upgraded from Win10, and the desktop was crashing, so I panicked and did a clean Win11 install.

Honestly, it was butter before and it's butter now, which is good I guess. I was worried about some chatter about ryzen issues with Win11, but experienced none of that.. The heaviest game I have installed rn is Forza 4, and it runs normal on all ultra. Didnt see any particular spike in thermals either, but then I don't monitor that very closely.

On the productivity side though, which is what I use this machine most for (data analysis, large files, etc), the little UI crappiness annoys me the most.

And Linus just isn't helping...

I use all 3 (well haven't upgraded to Win11 yet) OSes. MacOS for most of my work. Because I need CUDA, I have a workstation with an NVIDA GPU running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, that system is also dualboot with Win10 (use it for gaming mainly).

I've been a Windows user for decades, and only a MacOS user in the last 3 years, but I can tell you without a doubt MacOS is just so much more superior in terms of productivity. The trackpad gestures, switching desktops having far lass crashs and malware to deal with, it's just a God send.

This doesn't even start with how great some MacOS software is. My desktop has better specs, yet software like Keynote can open a 1000 slide presentation deck without missing a beat. Try that in powerpoint and it'll bring your system to a crawl.

Final Cut is another tool that is worth it's weight in gold for Mac users.

And if you're a developer Mac is even better, having a bash terminal and support for basically all developer libraries via brew and brew cask, it's no surprise the majority of Silicon valley is using Macs for coding.

I'm not hating on Windows, Windows has so much legacy sheit to support and can't change it's UI drastically as it would alienate so many non pro users. It's a hard position to be in.

But if you're a pro user (who doesn't need to game or use CUDA) Mac is a great alternative.

i've always heard how productive Macs are over windows desktops. but to each their own. i just find Apple insults their customers with high prices with alright specs but i figure they think to themselves as a 'premium' product.

Windows 11 doesnt look that innovative but i do like that overlay that pops up with stuff on the screen when you move the mouse to one side.

High prices sure, But longevity is unmatched... My 2013 mbp still runs like a beast! The battery is the only thing that needed replacing before I donated it. That's a 8 year old MacBook and it's living it's life strong as a dual boot machine to this day. Gen 1 iPad home here still liquid smooth too... Worth it I say

upgraded the hardware on my computer and was able to install Windows 11 today. it took about 5 minutes to reboot and install.

after 10 minutes of using it, i rolled back to Windows 10. not a fan in the lack of customization i can do
