I just bought a lightly used 14" that I intend to convert to my new Linux box, but since it came with a valid Win11 license, I thought I would try out Win11 first.
Boy am I glad I never let my real windows system "upgrade" to Win11.
First impression: a shoddy Mac rip-off UI. Apparently Windows UI developers have run out of all creativity and are reduced to creating second-rate knock-offs of the Mac UI.
Second impression: can't wait to put Linux on this machine. The machine will thank me for it.
Yeah. Really not that awful under the hood. Pretty much the same operationally as win10. They mainly changed the grill - Crappy win10 graphics made even worse... and of course, destroying the hated start bar that they have been trying to get rid of since XP.
I am a start freak. In my personal boxen, everything I need is there in the panels. I seldom go digging through the menu. Everything else I do is CLI, so I still have a cmd box open all the time...
In win11 I only operate by CLI. You may as well not have the graphic interface.
And the other 5 star bitch is the security in BIOS. Several things you have to shut off for Linux to work, and turn back on for windows to work. I finally abandoned Win11 and went back to Win10 on dual-boot machines, and all of them are older boxes so that Win10 will run on em.
I currently have *NO* Win11 boxen in my herd.
