I tried Win11 about 3 months after the initial release. That was a mistake.
Some of my wares of the seven seas did not run properly (like asassins creed valhalla), and there were performance issues when gaming. So I rolled back to Win 10.
Any fellow sailors out there daily driving 11? Have the big bugs been ironed out yet? Any glaring issues?
I just upgraded to 12 (Debian), highly recommend it’s bigger number than bleb winblows
This is a joke I guess, but actually the new debian release is pretty sweet. Plasma is getting real good these days, if you care about that sort of thing.
I would recommend OpenSuse 15.5. Python3.6 is very old, but the version number is even higher and it works flawlessly
I’ve been using Windows 11 for about a solid year now. Had zero issues gaming and using various programs. Transition from 10 was flawless.
This right here. MS shill right here. Win 11 is a bag of crap and shit. Full of creepy hidden malware shoving their crap slowly down your throat behind your back. Worse of all, their 5,000,000 page legalese contract hidden from you authorises them to perv and destroy your life (it even authorises the chinese government to shit on your life). NEVER EVER TRUST MS EVER. They are worse than spez, sadly.

What is “Ghost Spectre 11”? I don’t think Google is going to offer up info here.
Ghost Spectre 11 is a custom Windows 11 ISO that has certain features either removed/disabled. If Google isn’t giving you the results, try DuckDuckGo.
Win 11 is a bag of crap and shit.
It seems to glitch a lot and slow down common tasks. I have never had an operating system drop typed characters in the modern era. It also seems randomly hostile to pre-win7-era software.
I don’t trust Microsoft far as privacy or whatever. Just my experience has been fine running software. I do run ShutUp10 on it which I know doesn’t make it perfect.
calm down there bud
I wouldn’t call them a shill, Windows can provide a decent experience for some people. That being said I do believe you are right about Windows and all MS products being malware.
No, as a man of culture I use Linux.
(Lol just gotta get a dig in, can’t resist. I know gaming isn’t 100% there yet but Steam and their Proton are making great strides in recent years.)
Man I know, I tried linux about 3-4 months ago and it is getting so much better. If I wasn’t on an nvidia card I would probably be running fedora full time.
When Linux can do Dolby Atmos/DTS:X for games I’ll switch back. Audio is still a weak point for me under Linux. :(
Agreed. I laugh at these peasant frivolities.
I’ve been on windows 11 for about a year now, so far I’ve noticed no difference from Windows 10 in terms of cracked games. Come to think of it, I haven’t had a single game that didn’t run.
On Windows 11 for some games you have to get the pirate version. For me, my legit copy of NFS MW wouldn’t install so I had to use a cracked version. In fact the only issues I’ve had with Windows 11 full stop are because of Nahemic.
That is so sad.
I’ve been waiting for direct storage to make the move but games are taking so long to actually adopt it in masses to make me move on from Windows 10. I know directstorage is also supported on Windows 10, but had read it is supposed to be better on Windows 11.
Good to hear.
nope. absolutely will only update when i “have” to
Every time I think about updating to windows 11 I see something like this lol. first the vr thing and now pirated software not running properly?
TBF it was during the first few months of release. I want to believe that it was just early release related bugs.
yeah I was thinking just the other day “oh it’s probably fixed by now so it’s okay to update” and then I see this today haha
I’ve been on it since it released, and other than the UI differences, I haven’t even noticed a difference. If anything, it’s actually a bit faster.
The calendar flyout still can’t show your agenda, like in Win10. The ‘widget’ section is still full of unremovable MSM spam. It still installs ad-ware on major updates.
I hate it because of that.
Yeah I’m not a fan of Microsoft’s current implementation of widgets. I would just disable them entirely if possible.
You can turn off the widget button on the taskbar, but the Win+W keybind stays.
That’s good enough for me. I don’t ever hit that key combo for anything that I can think of. But maybe there’s a way to unbind it.
You could probably map it to something else with Microsoft powertoys, I think its keybinds take priority over system bindings since I used it to remap the window tiling shortcuts back when I Literally Ever opened my windows partition for anything except VR (I’d wipe it entirely, but I have an oculus headset and those barely work on Linux last I checked)
I like TikTok in my startmenu /s

With significant modifications under the hood (massive Registry changes for the Windows Explorer folder tree to simplify it back to rational XP standards… no libraries, nothing except for the hard drive folder tree) and a replacement start menu (StartIsBack, because Open-Shell isn’t working for Win11 yet), and Win11 is actually working quite well for my Octogenarian father. And he’s of the age where change comes very badly for him, which is why I needed to make some serious open-heart surgery on Win11 to modify things back to an XP look-and-feel. But it is doable, it just takes some time and occasional maintenance to ensure it stays usable.
Switched to 11 when it came out and haven’t looked back. I’m also one of those weirdos that uses Edge browser in Linux…
Edge in Linux is a crime against humanity.
Repent sinner 😂
Find me a browser that does vertical + pinned tabs as good as Edge does and I will repent ;)
Have you tried brave with vertical tabs
I will give it a shot, thanks!
Have you tried Vivaldi?
Yeah I was a long time Vivaldi user. I’m also one of those crazy people that paid for Opera browser. Would kill to see a modern 9.x
Will have to check out Vivaldi again haven’t used it in a while.
I run UW and the way Edge handles vertical tabs and pinning is really second to none.
Lol fair enough.
I have tried vertical tabs but I could never stick with them. For me it was a mix of muscle memory (moving mouse UP to get to tabs), and taking up too much screen real estate (especially on my small 13 inch work laptop).
this is the way…
The calendar flyout still can’t show your agenda, like in Win10. The ‘widget’ section is still full of unremovable MSM spam. It still installs ad-ware on major updates.
I hate it because of that.
it pretty much just feels like windows 10.1 to me, pretty similar imo but there are a few differences. virtualizing android apps makes it worth it for me.
I wish they finished the UI before pushing 11 en masse. I think it looks okay, but it’s a bit jarring looking at the new UI and having to jump back to old UI to properly do something (like using the right click menu).
Kind of like using the options app in win10 and having to open up control panel for some obscure setting that was not available to change in the new Settings app.
I’ve been daily driving it since release, I don’t recall any Win11 specific issues that happened to me, did a reinstall once due to CPU upgrade
Had to do some of my own tweaking of course, like removing that dumb new right click menu, but it just works.
idk, I guess I like being an early adopter, switched to Win8 even before 8.1 came out
5800X3D and 4070 (1070Ti initially) btw
Glad you didn’t seem to run into any big issues. The biggest one for me was an FPS issue where some games would get locked into running at around 45 fps. It really messed up the experience playing competitive shooters like Overwatch.
Related question, any recommended way to “get” a copy of Windows 11? Assuming no glaring bugs
I’ve always used Rufus to download Windows ISOs. It should let you download the latest major Win 11 release. I just used it last week in fact to make a quick bootable USB at work to reimage a device with 11 on it.
That gets a clean and uncracked copy I think?
It’s not activated, if you need to activate it look up Microsoft Activation Scripts, should be a GitHub link
Edit: to properly answer your question, yes it should be clean and uncracked if you download through Rufus.
Awesome thanks. Sounds easy enough.
Here’s the GitHub for the activation scripts. Takes like 30 seconds to do it. I’m amazed at how trivial its gotten to pirate Windows
Does anyone else find it kind of funny that a Microsoft service is hosting code to let you use another Microsoft service.
And don’t forget that time that a Microsoft Support employee used MAS to activate a customer’s Windows because the legal/official method wasn’t working.
Even better, there’s been a case where Microsoft Support has used it themselves.
I realised this as I was pulling up the bookmark “Wait, doesn’t Microsoft own GitHub now?” lol
I honestly don’t think they care, as long as people are using Windows.
Haha yeah pretty amazing. Guess I’m deciding between a clean install vs upgrade in place now.
If you have the time to backup everything a clean install is always better, Windows runs much better after a clean install
I’ve been running Elden Ring & Hogwarts legally and other games on Windows 11 and haven’t had any issues. Running 5800x3D & 3080 10GB
Sounds like the performance issues have probably been ironed out then.
yeah it’s been pretty stable for me, no crashes, blue screens, or anything. You should be fine to update
Hey… thats my PC 😛
goated setup, wish i would have gotten more ram on my graphics card now that games are getting more insane, but it runs everything pretty well.
Happily plays WoW, Tarkov, Diablo 4… so its good enough for me. Oh and at 4k over 100FPS too. 5800X3D is a beast, think I’ll hold up upgrading until at least 8800X3D.
