kali Wylder Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Like with every Microsoft release, I will wait until they get the kinks out. I clung to 7 until i bought a new laptop which had 10, managing to skip over the nightmare 8 and don't even recall, was there ever a 9?. My desktop stayed with 7 until things stopped running on it, when I finally caved and installed 10. I'm still not thrilled with 10 and I don't even want to think about 11.

Bree Giffen Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I can't wait for Windows 13! The unlucky OS. Do you think Microsoft would release that version? I mean it's a just a silly superstition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just because I CAN doesn't mean I WILL! I'll probably wait at least until the first service pack of fixes is released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Nova Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 All these people who do Bill Gates down should know the real culprit was Steve Ballmer. Bill was s figurehead while Steve was the one what done it! Mind you, Bill did hire him. Know your enemy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missyrideout Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I love Linux, used it constantly for 20 years, but it's always hilarious to me when someone is like "I don't need the hassle of Linux" and Linux people are like oh just do these 11 arcane things and it works GREAT. What's your driver version? OH you need 0123534527.8 not 012354526.0.1... Point taken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelathis Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Eventually, I'll setup a dualboot. For now I am only working with a 128gb SSD drive. I will stick with windows for some games or apps, but I like to have an operating system I can tinker around with - even if half of the time I goof it up. Chicago 95 fills me with nostalgia, I doubt it would be my main theme, but I have enjoyed XFCE in the past so it shouldn't be too difficult to swap around if I want. I can imagine playing around with dosbox a lot in the above though - I would have to get the right start menu button though. I've tried to play around with WSL, but it goofs around with virtualizing on virtualbox and I would rather have fast emulation than WSL, plus I was not a fan of remoting into linux on my own machine, it would get slow. So far Windows 11 appears to be more or less like Windows 10, at least from what little research I have done. I did not like the start menu being stuck in the middle, and I usually arrange the taskbar to the top of the screen. I think that can be changed now. By 2025 I imagine I will have gotten a new laptop to replace this one, at least I hope so this thing is already about four years old. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
