I haven't installed it, so no personal experience. But I have not read anything about Windows 11 that convinces me I need it. I'm not interested in signing for online accounts just to use it. I don't think I need trusted boot, secure boot,or whatever it is called, for a PC that is just my daily use PC for software hacking and for doing business on the internet. I'm worried that the secure boot nonsense if going to create problems with my Linux boot.
The only things that I really need Windows for now are photo editing and some gaming. Otherwise I'm spending my time with my Linux system. I'll probably have to install Windows 11 next year and deal with whatever havoc that causes.

On the same boat.I have a gaming rig and soon im making a new PC and Il probably still stick to w10 til EOL.Not really keen on tpm/vbs eating my frames even if it's just a minor loss.
Also having them making you tie your email with your PC when you install w11 is also annoying.I know there's ways around it but they seem to keep on "fixing" the ways that go around it.

Both of those can be disabled.

True. That can also be disabled currently.

i am still on Win10 (upgrade from 8.1) on the main rig but i am seriously thinking about upgrading to 11,

my Ally is on Win 11 and it work surprisingly well ... design wise i can adapt to anything ... i am more about functionality and compatibility and these 2 points are fulfilled on the Ally, so i guess given my main rig specs, i should have no issues with Win 11

well i think i keep it at "it's ok" but also "i prefer win 10" although the later is getting smaller

At home, nope, except to game on. I have bought a M4 Pro Mac Mini and love it, which is something I have not be excited about in years, in regards to personal computing. On a Professional level, I do not care, as long as I can get my IT work done. I have been into computers since 1991 and in IT since 1999.

While it can, it sucks seeing the OS getting installed in 10 minutes, then spending hours reading, finding all that crap and disabling it.

The poll should be do you like W11 Home/Pro in the complete MS default state?

I use Windows 10 LTSC. I mainly prefer it because I'm used to it and it's a bit lighter than most windows distros. It is also supported until 2027. Windows 11 is OK but again, see above lol.

sometimes i wonder since we have very wide range of processors from low end N series to i9 why Microsoft doesn't try to improve their OS based from the processor level
