Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.
I’m just getting ahead of the curve. In 10 years everyone will be making videos about how windows 11 wasn’t really that bad like how they did with Vista a few years ago and are about 8 right now. I just want to be able to relate to the videos.
The only gripe I have with windows 11 is the lack of toolbar customization that was in windows 10. Other than that I don’t have any problems… but windows 8 on the other hand, I don’t get it
I ain’t switching until they implement vertical toolbars. I don’t want to use a fucking 3rd party tool, it’s SO EASY in 10, idk why the fuck they just don’t want implement it.
“Not many people used it” so fucking what, I bet not many people used the default apps in 10 and now we have expanded functionality with the “suggested apps”. Bastards.
I still can’t use WSL 2.0 because of the abysmal filesystem performance compared to 1.0. As far as I can tell this is a fundamental flaw with the design, not a bug that can/will be fixed.

Who wants to use Windows 11 anyway?

Windows 11 really isn’t that bad. It’s no Wins Vista, 8.0 or ME.
Don’t be so hard on yourself guy. You’re way better than Vista and 8.0

For what it’s worth Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit was more stable for me than XP.
it really improved wsl integration
also it’s kinda mandatory if you have a recent cpu, to utilize the p-core/e-core architecture.
Linux: look what they have to do to achieve a tenth of our power.
Can Linux not handle the big.little architecture as well?

Linux wsl has really come a long way
Instead of “Windows Subsystem for Linux” it’s “Windows Software on Linux.” We should rename WINE for lulz.
Oh, I meant as opposed to previous windows versions.
I figured tbh. I was being snarky and reminding that Linux is the real alternative to Win 11, not Win 10
Yes it can; that was added to Linux 5.18.
