Live captions is usefuuuuul.

I’ve liked Windows 11. Hope they don’t degrade it by putting many unneeded ai tools in it.

I honestly think live captions is super useful too. That’s why I use it all the time.

No vertical Taskbar. -1

Horrible multiple monitor support. -1

AI built in. -1

Ads in the start menu. -1

Until this list starts at zero I’m not even remotely interested.

Isn’t the multi-monitor support better in 11? It properly supports restoring windows into the correct monitor when you reconnect monitors.

Yeah that one works.

And there’s so much more you could criticize anyway:

Edge? No thx, if I want it I will install it myself.

TPM? Wtf bro, take it out.

:::> Edge? No thx, if I want it I will install it myself.

Hey now, back when I used Windows, I found Edge to be perfectly suited to it’s job… of downloading Firefox.

I wish I could praise Edge as one of my top five favorite ways to install Firefox, but …

  • flatpak
  • apt
  • Ansible
  • git clone; make install
  • curl | sudo

Edge doesn’t crack the top 5 anymore, after all.

Well for me it does not work (T470s, two docks, different monitors). Well, it does sometimes work after the second reboot.

It’s Microsoft. -5

Telemetry everywhere. -5

Upcoming automatic screenshots of your screen on a regular basis! - 1000 (Microsoft Recall)

This is a horrible, horrible software that nobody should run…

The only thing on that comparison that I like is the snip tool. At least I assume I use the windows one. Nothing else on that list is vital.

Literally just picked up a new laptop and immediately uninstalled windows 11. Drivers will be fiddly but it’s already working fine.

I will never use the privacy ffest that is win 11.

Have you tried to refund the Windows license? (Assuming you didn’t set it up)

Hmmm I couldn’t get it to boot off the usb till I’d set up win11. I didn’t know I could refund w11 or I’d have tried harder!

Got my new Thinkpad T14S yesterday and immediately installed Linux Mint. I refuse to give in to the Windows 11 pressure.

And here was me thinking windows 8 was just a beta release of vista that was leaked by Microsoft!

Win11 has excellent WSL support. Way better than Win10.
