Waydroid on Fedora is much better than Bluestacks.

Never heard of those but I'll look into it

Really? Thats surprising but it makes sense. Considering how many ads the service has and how bloated it feels
Logging in to my Outlook account on Gmail (Android), I saw this screen:
Would you look at that, the Yes button has the correct color rather than psychologically trying to make the user click "No" as it happens on 11.
This is something Microsoft needs to fix.
And yes, the top screen is admittedly not from a Windows OS, but the point stands they know what they're doing.

for the few months i used Windows 11 it didnt really break compatibility or anything... i got used to the new context menu really quick and the new start menu i found as a genuine improvement over all the ad filled junk in 10. plus stuff like the tabbed file explorer and scrilling to increase volume are neat.
Switched to Linux anyways because it was better than Windows. It's funny, it started as a dualboot but within 1 month the Win Partition was gone because so much shit worked on Linux with Proton. for people who don't think that Linux gaming is there yet.... it's fucking there!

Win10 on the desktop, Win11 on the laptop.

most of the time, Snappy Driver Installer Origin can find drivers that make your hardware work. Unless you just have really obscure hardware.

Yay.
It's true, I guess. I just installed Win11 when it was available on my only laptop.

I use Windows 11, in general its ok. Some pros and some cons compared to Windows 10.
The start menu is junk in my opinion however, the recommendations section should be able to be disabled and the start menu able to resize a lot more dynamically, like on Windows 10:
Can't say I'm a fan of the new right click context menus either, they slow me down at times.

It's okay. As long as you debloat the operating system's shear amount of telemetry spyware, reinstalling and bloat bullshit, then I'm sure you'll be fine.
oh, yeah, same with windows 10.
for my work I had to made that to 1500 pcs, the administrative templates, gpos, and reg hacks was a lot of help.

There are plenty of tools available that automatically do that without having to fidget around with anything.
Yep, but not always can be used on business environment. and the GPOs help to no one can change anything later.
I CFW'd my nephew's PS3 using his Windows 10 Notebook which as it turns out had the 11 "Upgrade" scheduled, but I ended up blocking it.
It's not as simple as one click (if Microsoft weren't assholes they'd allow it) so instead you have to go through a few steps to block it:
It should be optional, not somewhat mandatory.

Still a hard no for me.
Even from my youth, I spoiled myself with surround speakers on PC gaming, in part because my noggin is physically too big to comfortably wear most headphones sold, let alone any capable of any kind of surround.
I do not claim to be an audiophile by any stretch. But I've grown to expect a certain fidelity to be correct for games, old and new. Realtek can claim all they want about their new audio chips; if the game I run expects eax, and their driver and software bundle won't support it, the game will think you're on some $2 oem special and sound like ass.
At least as of this writing, no official drivers exist for any Audigy or X-fi sound cards, for Windows 11. Daniel K's final repack in theory should work on the os; at least until Microsoft does any significant changes to the kernel. And Microsoft has done that before with Windows 10.
More recently the wife gifted me a set of razer tiamat 7.1v2's. that they barely fit is a miracle. Their fidelity in handling surround sound was like the thing I was praying for for so long. They work with (up to) 7.1 analog inputs from a sound card. And well, nothing made since that I can find on the market seems to support that.
If I have to resign to realtek onboard audio, I will be a very sad gamer.
