it really improved wsl integration

also it’s kinda mandatory if you have a recent cpu, to utilize the p-core/e-core architecture.

I still can’t use WSL 2.0 because of the abysmal filesystem performance compared to 1.0. As far as I can tell this is a fundamental flaw with the design, not a bug that can/will be fixed.

I ain’t switching until they implement vertical toolbars. I don’t want to use a fucking 3rd party tool, it’s SO EASY in 10, idk why the fuck they just don’t want implement it.

“Not many people used it” so fucking what, I bet not many people used the default apps in 10 and now we have expanded functionality with the “suggested apps”. Bastards.

I’m just getting ahead of the curve. In 10 years everyone will be making videos about how windows 11 wasn’t really that bad like how they did with Vista a few years ago and are about 8 right now. I just want to be able to relate to the videos.

Windows 11 really isn’t that bad. It’s no Wins Vista, 8.0 or ME.

Don’t be so hard on yourself guy. You’re way better than Vista and 8.0

For what it’s worth Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit was more stable for me than XP.

The only gripe I have with windows 11 is the lack of toolbar customization that was in windows 10. Other than that I don’t have any problems… but windows 8 on the other hand, I don’t get it

Unless you wanted to play multi-player games.

Unfortunately if you want to play games with 0 hassle, Windows is still the only real option. Proton is awesome, but there are still games I want to play that either don’t work (or don’t work well), or require workarounds to get working

I bought windows pro at some point, but could not for the life of me activate my windows after an install. Didn’t get a serial code, and the system wouldn’t pick up my account. Good riddance.

But you can still activate it with this FOSS solution: https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO
