Here I was just contemplating installing Windows 11.
Looks like I’ll be waiting.
I installed it a while ago, I hated it so much I stopped using my windows partition. It’s still there, sometimes it tries to take over my pc and force itself to boot instead of refind.
I tried it. It hasn’t even reached feature parity with Windows 10, and 10 still hasn’t reached parity with 7, so that tells you how far behind it is.
Define feature parity, as you could look it in the opposite direction as well as different versions will have features previous versions lack (e.g 11 has an updated version of snap which allows for better window management, and more applications have tabs by default, like notepad and file explorer)
I have to sometimes dual boot into windows 11 and it’s pretty meh. Will directstorage be exclusive to win11? Then that might be a reason to keep it around.
It’s not since March of 2022.
The good:
- Windows 11 has some nice performance uplifts compared to windows 10 and current 11 is miles ahead of 11 at launch.
The bad:
- Microsoft has heavily cut back from it’s most rigorous testing leading to random situations like those in the linked post popping up time to time. In some ways they’ve decided to test in a rolling production environment. This isn’t an issue in OSs like Arch or Fedora since you can just switch the broken component for an alternative but with Windows and MacOS, you’re locked in.
The ugly:
- About every 3 months or so, I need to turn off yet another newly introduced adware feature that assaults my eyes with its presence.
