A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't really like Windows but it's for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don't know much of anything about 11 and whether it's better or not.

W11 has more efficient power usage and task management. Outside of that, there's rounded UI and... uh... yea just rounded UI. If this is a new PC install or just like a fresh install, just upgrade to Windows 11. W10 is eventually going to be discontinued sooner and the changes aren't that drastic to warrant staying downgraded. I also recommend something like Open Shell to fix a lot of the gripes power users have with the UI, like the limited right-click context menus. Personally, I use StartAllBack. WinAeroTweaker is a great software to disable some telemetry, add important options to context menus, etc.

You can still game on Linux now with Proton.
