    Windows 11 is great. I finally upgraded a month ago. No regrets. Several good handy new features.

    Not happy that they’ll eventually shove ads down my throat at which time I’m fully prepared to switch to Linux. Until then, at least at this point, Windows 11 > Windows 10.

      Im using ReviOS on my non-gaming/work systems right now as a trial - its windows 11,but strips out all the crapware. So far Im liking it.

        File explorer tabs. It’s amazing.

        Notepad tabs. Less amazing, still awesome.

        I also like the context menu more. It is going to be less confusing even when cluttered.

        Way cleaned up ui/ix for notifications.

        I’ve only been using it for about a month. This is what I’ve noticed the most.

          I hate the context menu so much. What used to be clear and concise with custom plugins is now a mash of nearly identical flat icons and an extra click to get to anything useful.

            If you are comfortable editing the registry then you can get the old context menu back without the extra clicks. Searching online for the right key was pretty easy.

              It’s a shared computer, so I’m somewhat uncomfortable tinkering with the OS. I would have done that immediately though!

        Could it be that the device drivers just aren’t compatible with Win 11? Happened to me once. Super annoying to deal with.

          If you’re a tech noob you probably don’t want to deal with this. We come from a world of linux and troubleshooting. People who use Windows probably want the least resistance and to just do work.

        I don’t want features…I don’t want assistance. I want a basic os that does what I want and doesn’t do things that it thinks I want.
