*** Microsoft Windows 11 Thoughts & Discussion Thread ***

Huge, full screen app draw? its neither of those things, what res you running it at?

I have no idea as to the full range of options yet and I suspect there will be some people who that centre screen app draw style will work well for but that implementation IMO is inferior both to the normal Windows 10 start menu and Windows 7's. Windows 10's was starting to go a good direction though needed a lot of work and in theory, though lacking in practise, offered a good enhancement over 7.

I'm not sure that app draw style approach will work for me - I have pinned regular apps but also have other options brought in much more readily in both 7 and 10.

The thing with an OS is to enable the end user, give them options, everyone has a bit different ways in which things work the most fluidly and best - though there are limits having that app draw style, full screen options, etc. as options is a good thing, having 1 or maybe 2 fairly rigid approaches where at least 1 of them is a half-baked implementation at best really isn't a good thing.

So win 10 nvidia drivers work on win 11?

Why are you in such a rush to game on this? There's no official release... just a leaked early build, with bugs. It hasn't even been announced yet.

I'm sure drivers will be available when it is released, but until then you're better off sticking with a more seasoned version of Windows.

If anything i'd only run this build in a virtual screen

i had a nose on linus this morning, will take getting used too, but as usual avoid it like the plague at launch, it will be a total bug ridden mess

Funny how Microsoft never really learns from that.

I don’t think Microsoft learns from anything apart from if the money is rolling in they must be doing something right.

You really don't want to be using this as a main OS. Anything could happen.

same can be said for win 10.

I can't move to ubuntu, something I need doesn't work in it.

What? Or is it super embarrassing to admit what it is (NSFW? Or worried someone will show it can work and embarass that way?). Not after embarrassment but puzzled why you wouldnt say what it was!

RMM remote desktop if you really must know. Doesn't support latest ubuntu.

Not even anything remotely the same. Windows 10 is support. That is not.

I bet it's more stable/reliable than Windows 8 RTM

Well I would hope so, but the point is - it isn't supported. You just asking for trouble if anything goes wrong.

i am tempted to give it a go

Does anyone use any of the bundled apps like maps, alarm clock, groove music? I mean they seem better suited to phones.

Don't use a single app like that by M$.

Meh... it's W10 that's trying to be more Mac like.

It's just a new interface.

As expected, Windows 11 includes an updated task scheduler which is designed for big.little CPU architecture

there are significant performance improvement over Windows 10 for big.little CPUs

So the stars are starting to align basically for the next big thing.
New incoming CPU architectures, new chipsets, new DDR standard and a newer more optimised OS.
