Share your thoughts on Windows 11 🤩

Die ! Die ! I want the thinking machines to die !

Course each time you people drag everything backwards and deny anything happened I end up not remembering unlike you people who actively deny trying to cover your fag asses !

kill it

@MadMadMadMrMim Are you ok bro! 😒

Omg it's an infiltrator from micro$oft

@inawhile that was an attempt to lure me into commenting wasn't it ? the specific phrasing ?

Fucking Windows 11 updated itself without my permissions

@Eklavya ohhhhh noooo windows 11 is a free upgrade :P

I am so going to recklessly upgrade now LOL and hope that it doesn't destroy my grub install LOL
windows 10 preserved it. lets see if 11 does too.

@inawhile LMAO thought you were 'sexually deprecated' ? :P and yes you know exactly what you were doing :P thats how you people in general here work, actually how people online work :P its called being a troll lol

1. Developer are allowed to keep 100% revenue while developing for windows store
2. Update happens in background

Also i do like the look, it’s fresh

I will eat my own words if it turns out another vista

@hardfault :P They're about due you know.
For another os flop.
10 they powered hard through in the earlier days.
But ME, VISTA and 8.0 sucked goddamn ass !

NT, XP, 7, 2000.

It kind of makes me want to cry that I've lived through every microsoft os release.

I feel so old.

Rounded corner. Good.
The rest I don’t care.

@MadMadMadMrMim every? Even 286,386, 3.0 ?

Or even dos :)

@Voxera shut up. yes. and ms-dos, 8086 arch is the first i used. I learned assembler as a kid when that came out.

@Voxera oh but to be in my 30s instead of being a cute older man who needs to hit a treadmill to tone out presently LOL

1. Nice window management is nice.

2. I don't care about the glass bullshit. I want my graphics card to chill as much as possible outside of games.

3. The people presenting it... oh god. What a mess. They looked mentally unstable. The guy looked like he was continuously balancing between a tearful breakdown and infinitely delayed orgasmic release. I think the woman was a soulless cyborg programmed to have a nasal soccer mom accent in an attempt to make her relatable.

4. The fact that the stream was unstable for so many people says a lot about Microsoft as a software & (especially) cloud company.

5. "I wanna buy Apple". Mom: "We have Apple at home". Apple at home: *Windows*

6. Background windows updates means even less control for the end user.

etc.

Literally the only thing I liked was the window management, with the tiling, taskbar groupings and context-specific desktops, with good multi-display support.

That's something I hope to see on Gnome or Cinnamon in the future.

@MadMadMadMrMim

Yeah hopefully Windows 12 will just run on the Linux kernel, with native Windows API & DirectX 12 emulation. 🤷‍♂️

No more half-assed attempts to run Adobe After Effects through Wine on Linux, or fucking around to get Kubernetes configured through WSL on Windows.

I would take a lifelong subscription to Office 365, Gamepass & OneDrive, and give Satya Nadella a long, deep blowjob to be able to natively run all Steam games and all my developer tooling on "Windows: The Linux Distro".

I would even happily call it GNU/Linux/Windows, if requested.

@bittersweet honestly i never understood why that was not a possibility.

usually compatability layers tend to report a certain number of performance issues, which well I could see if you're using functions that did things like modified sections of memory or passed back formatted hunks of memory or something like that which then had to be converted to the expected output, at the very least there would be that overhead, that of translation, but yeah.

apparently they're experimenting with a linux layer on windows, i personally i have not tried using it much.

@MadMadMadMrMim Yeah Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) works, but it doesn't always work WELL.

WSL is a fairly user-friendly VM with linux inside of it, but like all virtualized machines, it comes with some weird stuff and hacks.

I would rather see it the other way around: Microsoft could easily create a "Linux Subsystem for Windows" beating Wine in terms of performance & compatibility. They wouldn't have to *reverse* engineer their API like the Wine teams does after all.

They could just leave all the OS development to the open source community, rely on the Linux Kernel and the excellent package/update managers.

Then Microsoft could just focus on backwards compatibility, and value-adding cloud services. I think premium services like Game Pass, Office365, Teams & OneDrive on a good Linux Distro could actually work quite well.

Haven't tested the "leaked" builds yet.

I don't like the Start menu. Windows 10's tiles at least give you that spatial intuition about what's where, and at one point you can go by muscle memory even if you forget what an app was called.

Window management looks good, but I really hope that this tiling gets most of the features of FancyZones (from PowerToys), otherwise it seems like a gimmick and I'd still need to use FancyZones. I hope I can drag windows between monitors from the overview screen.

Performance-wise, I hope there are really some improvements, although I realise it might only affect big.LITTLE CPUs.

Looks ok

For me, windows is the best. No offence btw.

@rEaL-jAsE agree with you.
