I may be an outlier, but they convinced me! The improvements to HDR alone made it worth the upgrade. No other desktop OS does HDR as good as Win11. Seriously, it’s so fucking good. I feel like I’m really getting my money’s worth out of my display. Can’t say the same when I was dual-booting Win10 and Garuda. (Linux didn’t even support HDR at the time and barely supports it now.)
All the complaints I hear about Win 11 are solved with two apps (and by building the ISO in Rufus). I don’t have any ads in my OS. Windows never tries to save to OneDrive (it’s not even installed). Recall doesn’t exist. I can move my taskbar wherever I want and fully customize it how I see fit. I can make the Start Menu look and behave like any Start menu from past Windows OSes. I don’t need a Microsoft account or even a password.
StartAllBack and O&O Shut Up 10 fix everything Microsoft broke.
Kudos to you for fixing it, but also people are totally correct to criticize the default experience. It shouldn’t take “obscure” software to make it usable.
Fair, but I see using “obscure” software as no different than installing different modules in Linux to customize it how you see fit. Just like how nobody’s forcing you to use a more “traditional” distro like Fedora or Debian, nobody’s forcing you to put up with a default Windows setup, either.
Mate you can safely use Mint out of the box, there’s no need to gut it like a fish unlike windows. Also, I’m betting your current setup will break within the next 3 security patches unless you installed LTSC.
