Have two on Windows 10, one on Windows 11, one Mac OS Sequoia, and one Mac OS Catalina...

Way too many computers. Maybe it will be the year of downsizing for me.

I personally hate how their Enterprise SKU Win 10 & 11 releases still have all the home edition bloatware bullshit you have to strip out, and feature updates put them RIGHT FUCKING BACK.

I'll never be out of a job at least.

I just removed Windows 11 from my old Surface Pro 8 and installed ChromeOS. So much better.

The only thing worse than Windows, is using ChromeOS.

It doesn't seem like Win11 is considered to be a really good OS though especially for gaming

 

[Clintizzle]

The only thing worse than Windows, is using ChromeOS.

Agreed if its needed for productivity and everyhting else windows provides.

I barely used the surface and wanted to make it a simple tablet with youtube/netflix/browser. Infact I tried streaming gamepass games and it actually worked really well.

It seems like the Win 12 announcement is incoming.

 

[Parazels]

MacOS for work, and SteamOS for gaming would be ideal. Unforunately all the damn launchers and anticheats make using SteamOS difficult.

Good approach.

I do not understand, why so many people here declare they need everything on a single pc. I have a cheap laptop for work and a console for games. I wouldn't like to combine them within a one device.

Best thing to do with Microsoft, never believe a word they say and put out!.

I think Windows 11 is a fine operating system personally, being fast and completely stable on my system. However, it suffers from a lack of quality control by Microsoft, which Windows 11 24H2 being particularly buggy as a result.

Last August was the first time that I experienced issues trying to play PC games on my machine, specifically Star Wars: Outlaws from Ubisoft which kept crashing to the desktop with no error message or event log entry every 10-20 minutes. In the end I had to stop playing it and it wasn't until late December that the issue was finally fixed by both Ubisoft and Microsoft.

The issues with the 24H2 update have certainly put me off upgrading to a new build of Windows early via the Windows Insider Release Preview programme (which is basically where you get to test cumulative Windows updates a week or two before everyone else).

Confirmed no Xbox hardware this year?

Otherwise it would the year of Xbox, no?

Nothing makes me hate MS more than forcing me to upgrade a perfectly working computer to some bullshit nobody and I mean nobody asked for.

If anything Windows 11 is a downgrade

Daily reminder to Windows 10 people,, and even Windows 11, do this for your peace of mind. It is time.

I dual boot with Windows 11 and Linux Mint. 75% of my time is spent on Windows 11 due to my desktop being a gaming environment. My Windows 11 experience has been rock solid and even though I can indeed run Star Citizen and modded Skyrim (to an extent) on Mint, I cannot, under any circumstance run Madden 25.

So, while I use Linux Mint to rip my CDs, web browse and log in to do the little stuff because I like how it handles it, Linux Mint is not a "forget Windows 11" solution for me.

Font rendering is also crap on Linux, and while it's not as good as it is on Mac OS...fonts on Windows 11 are better than they are on Linux Mint.

I do recommend anyone that can dual boot with Windows 11 and Linux Mint...do so. If you're at least competent with computer tech, you may enjoy the freedom and ease Linux Mint provides.

But... the experience is not without it's warts.


Windows 11's warts..for me, is the UI. Other than that...it's rock solid and easy to use.
