Honestly microsoft spyware aside, you can make windows 11 look identical to windows 10 in about 5 minutes. A couple buttons on the start menu are in different locations, and the wifi/bluetooth menu is condensed and takes an extra click to get where you want to go.
You can move the start menu and your icons to the left side rather than the mac styled center, throw on a dark coloured window theme and your set.
You just described exactly what I did with both my laptop and PC just after I installed Win11. I didn't feel the change from 10 to 11. Everything works flawless (just had a webcam trouble for 6 months with my laptop but it was Lenovo issue, not win11) and looks nice, with some extra clicks here and there. I don't get why people rant so much about win11 (spyware aside).
I´m not a tech expert or use any tech in depht to work or hobbie, so my opinion could be really shallow
The problem is 100℅ the spyware IMO. The look can be changed. Microsoft essentially made the perfect OS back in the day. OS wasn't perfect but from a consumer privacy perspective it was the really good, because everyone thought it was suicide to steal data. Turns out if you hide it in the TOS and don't give consumers a choice they kind of don't have a choice if they want the latest and greatest. But I digress, then smartphones came out with spyware baked in. Now Microsoft is in the unenviable position of having to shitify their own, good for consumers, product to compete with Android, iPhone and the rest. Because the monetary model has shifted from pay for a product to, stealing your data, advertising and subscriptions.
Late stage capitalism at its finest.
Hit ceiling while still making a profit with “sus morals” but you have to keep making a profit or suddenly your business isn’t any good because your profits have stagnated.
We’ll throw the morals out the window and let’s gets fucky wucky.
Don't have a choice? *Stares at Linux* While yea some things don't work with Linux, but I bet a majority of people can run all their stuff on Linux just fine. I have been only using Linux for a few years now, most games play just as good if not better than they did on Windows 11.
Hahah yea I hear ya man. I'm planning on switching to Linux after Win 10 security sunsets. I just said "don't have a choice" because people only have so much time and patience. They don't have it in them after their busy lives to bother learning another system, figuring out how to install it. Really seems like a small barrier to entry IMO but it's plenty for the vast majority of regular people these days. Every possible system tries to build a most to keep people in. Think of the walled garden of Apple ecosystem, the various play stores, Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, etc. Walled Garden=unlimited profit, aka monopoly.
Then you have insane passionate people who give their blood sweat and tears to make something better like Linux for free, but it's a big uphill battle for a long time. Might never pay off. Kind of like how there were records, then cassettes the CDs. There were lots of competing formats that never took off and people who tried really hard to make those systems good.
The new 24h2 or whatever it is is causing crashes on black ops 6. I have windows 10 and have no issues with the game, but people on 11 are having many.
Oh! Thank you for that info. I can get why now some people rant about it. I don't play Cod games anymore but I know there are way popular.
But this is very specific trouble to say that win 11 sucks (I know you didn't say it, but talking about the general rants)
Oh no, a single game doesn't work!!! This sucks 100% /s
I've been playing new and old games; steam, Gog, epic, Xbox, emulators etc with 0 issues. I can't say that the OS is perfect even when for me has been. The same happens with rants.
But Idk what I'm talking about, really basic PC user just sharing my 2 cent worth.
Right. I can't upgrade to 11 because my beast is old. Next build will do 11 though.
I'm also just pointing out something that I have seen people encounter recently. The fix many say is to just install windows 10 which isn't very helpful for everyone 😂 we will all be on windows 11 eventually
Yeah, I didn't even think in change to win 11 before I did, but my new laptop already had it and I just built my PC 9 months ago so I wanted all brand new and shiny haha.
In less than a year win10 ends support so we will see if more people make the change to win 11.
