There are times when Microsoft Windows 11 sticks out like a thorn between the ribs. This is one of those moments.
I lost 2 hours of work because of this thing, so I did the only thing that made sense. Did a video complaining about it and edited it for at least 12 more hours.

Made a follow-up video to this one, where I decided to give Linux a shot again and I ask people to recommend me their preferred distros.
Would love for you guys to weigh in your input:

You should try Garuda Linux.
Personally void is the way to go
Ubuntu, right or wrong my distro, since Windows Vista.
I've been very happy using Linux Mint for years now. Windows is terrible and getting worse.
Mint
The Penguin called and I answered.
All sane people who can leave Windows and MacOS behind do
The penguin called me seven years ago, and i answered too
Called me too and I was sceptical so I dual booted my laptop. The more time I spend with the penguin the more I want to get rid of Windows entirely
Same here. Started with dual booting on laptop in school but just kept not booting the windows partition at all. So shrank windows partiotion and extended linux more and more.
After some months switched on pc too. (and there for real: only linux, not useless dualboot)
I use Arch, btw
The Penguin called, I answered, he said Noot Noot!, and I prompty hung up.
Got to love how Microsoft fired all their Quality Assurance team and solely rely on Insider users now....
That explains a lot of things 😅
@@WolfiiDog13 right?!
Cause apparently paying a QA team is too expensive for a multi trillion dollar company
I mean, they also funnel all their money just to not pay taxes

This explains why my experience was so goddamn rancid
Recently made the final switch to Linux as the gaming is now at an acceptable level for my needs... no Win 11 for me. 😃
Yay!
Are you running Nobara, Garuda, SteamOS, or something else? I have a Win11 Nitro5 and I'm wanting to move too but I don't want to screw up with the wrong distro.
@@k.b.tidwellI'd suggest KDE Neon. It's based on Ubuntu (so basically all software works), it has up-to-date Mesa drivers (useful if you're using an AMD or Intel GPU) and a Windows-like UI.
Picked Nobara, it's working out well so far, very responsive on my 4yr old build (system; amd cpu 3700x, gpu 5700xt, 32gb ram). @@k.b.tidwell
@@k.b.tidwellGo with Nobara if you're worried, although you can game just fine on many distros
I'm sticking to Windows 10 until EoL and then making my way onto linux. I tried Win11 a few months back and just hated it right away.
Similar here - I did the 10 to 11 update on the test-bed system, and hated the result. I won't have that mess even though they are "giving" it to me.
It's like saying - I will keep drinking until my liver starts to fail, and then I quit.
You need 3-6 months to even get comfortable on a new OS, and about 2-3 years to get as proficient as on Windows.
Might as well try Linux sooner rather than later, so you'll know to prepare for getting backdoored by W11 if you aren't willing to use Linux either.
I switched last year and it was pretty painless... the hardest part was just backing up all of the stuff I cared about, which I should have been doing anyway.
Try Linux Mint in a virtual machine. Then once your used to it then install it on bare metal. Just understand Blizzard games and other E Sport games wont work on Linux.
@@heyitsdazy I'm guessing some/most Blizzard games work on Linux, even if they're not natively supported, unless they went out of their way to break things. But the only one I bother with lately is Diablo 2 (which works fine).
They don't officially support it, like most publishers, but tools like Wine/Proton/Lutris/Bottles will often do the trick.
Using Windows made my PC feel like it wasn't my PC - my personal settings constantly being altered, bloatware reinstalling itself after every update, forced updates even after pausing them and let's not forget how sluggish the OS gets after installing the things you need for your stuff to work and on top of that, the platform-wide advertisements when you have already paid for Windows.
Eventually made the move to Ubuntu 23.10 and whilst it has its quirks and is unfortunately popular for the wrong reasons in the Linux community it's an overall better experience - it's smooth, it's fast, it gets the basic features right especially the built-in screenshotting functionality which even lets you natively record as soon as you hit the Print Screen key. Most importantly, my games work right out of the box and I'm not forced to have all this sluggish third party software for certain accessories to work. I haven't looked back.
I updated my motherboard firmware and it installed an app to update the firmware from within windows and windows was happy to install this software without any of my input. Besides the forced updates and bloat, and internet connections that looks like windows behaving like its infected. That was the last straw. I still have a Game Pass subscription, that is the only thing I use windows for now.
Microsoft : I have best Ai, Be sure to use My Cloud Services and give me more money.
i was die hard Windows fan, i started to feel i need to fight my OS to not do what i don't need itr to do.
turned out Linux worked well for me. im a happy Debian user now
Lol well put. Have to fight the os to not do what i don't want it to do. It's ridiculous. I should be able to fire up a program and use that program without worrying about the 25 other things using my cpu and ram in the background.
I was in the same position, Windows 10 was actively getting worse for me each time it would update and becoming even slower, i switched to MacOS and everything was more streamline and all the applications worked faster though i still need Windows for some windows only applications but the intel Macbooks can dual-boot so i have Windows 10 on my macbook which works better than it does on my actual windows laptop haha
@@ColinsCity it actually felt like they intentionally shitted the OS, to nudge you move to Win11. as soon as Win11 came out - a lot of problems started to occur from nowhere
@@electric_lizzzard They definitely did because around 2021 is when i started to find my Windows laptop was slowing down and then to an unusable rate in 2022, it would take 6-10 hours to render a 4 minute 1080p video when in 2020 it was doing the same thing at 1-2 hours and the only thing that changed in that time was OS updates.
Changed to Linux full time one year ago and never looked back. Combined with the brave browser, my experience with computers is 1000% better.
Distro?
@@xiradio Pop! distro. I installed steam spotify and other desktop apps with flatpak. I have an Nvidia card and it works great too
@@xiradio Pop!
You are completely right. Windows contains 40 years of legacy code stacked on top of each other. It's bloated and slow. I switched to Fedora Linux in 2020 and my computer is so fast and has never crashed. I use NVIDIA GPU and X11 graphics mode. Games run perfectly. Most have same or higher FPS than Windows.
I built a windows 10 pc and recently the freaking thing automatically download and installed windows 11 without my consent. I even went through the effort to tell windows to not remind me and declined the update reminder. I hate it. I’m going to revert back to windows 10 even if I have to reinstall. I’m having so much trouble with different accounts for my children that it’s getting ridiculous. Even programs have to be reinstalled for each user. IT’s really pissing me off!
Linux user, since 2008 and I don't regret it. 🙂
Watching this from ubuntu because windows 11 is fucking with my amd drivers. 3 days ago has this screen artifacts problem which only HAPPENS between 9pm to 11pm. I was not sure what happened i thought maybe led cable is loose in my laptop but it only happens at that time. It took me 3 days to testing it and turns out when i update my driver using official website then later on it removes it and installs an old driver which is buggy.
It does this types of things everytime so, now using ubuntu mantic
microsoft scheduler is source of evil
@@MykolaTheVaultDweller magically the hard drives start spinning. those who have SSDs don't know what's going on inside their machine, but I have mechanical HDDs and I hear movement.
what does it read? is it writing logs? I have to install a packet sniffer to understand what it is communicating with the outside, Win11 is a big spyware installed on your machine.
I jumped off the Windows ship when Vista was sailing it. Just recently tried fedora silverblue, I think Microsoft could learn a thing or two from it.
I think I was extremely lucky because other than Vista being annoying with the new permissions nags, I never had any serious problems with it. That said, Win 7 was like a cold drink on a hot day after that lol. I actually didn't give up until Win 11, though I still have a gaming laptop with that on it...for now.
I tried Silverblue last year some time, and I agree with your statement. I ended up moving away because a particularly arcane method of getting a Windows program of mine running on it didn't work, so I went back with my easy go-to LMDE6. But since WINE 9 came out I've reason to hope, so I'm going to try it again in the near future. It's definitely one smooth, well-put-together distro.
@@k.b.tidwell Have you tried bottles? It's available in the distro repos, but the creators of bottles strongly recommend to install the flatpak version. I've pretty much managed to run all the Windows apps I've ever needed in bottles.
@@k.b.tidwell Try Proton instead of Wine !
@@marcelmolenaar5684 I'll do it
6:08 I feel like this as well.
Windows still forcibly replaces your drivers with old and broken ones, it still refuses to free the standby list when it runs out of memory and it's somehow less responsive than my XP machines even though the hardware is at least thousands of times faster.
Bunch of small issues add up and make me dread booting back into Windows these days.
I have 64gb ram and 14900k cpu and still windows 11 locks up on me often
Win 11 is so bloated now, but the biggest problem is all the crap going on in the background. AI is now collecting every little thing you do. Just switch to Linux and stop it, with the excuses.
@@STONE69_If I may, I have Ryzen 3 3100, GT 1030 2GB, 16GB DDR4 2666 and 320 HDD with all AI crap, data collection and diagnostics enabled. Never crashed 2 years install.
Even have a dedicated pcie streaming capture card from 90s which works fine in Win 10 but decided to flag it in 11 just because the manufacturer didn't update (and certified) the driver.
Yeah, it's a convoluted crap OS. The worst is they should've just merged settings and control panel into one.
@@Cyrillium thats a pretty good CPU, its not that old. But many people are trying to run Win 11 with Athlons, Celerons and old Pentiums. Buying a $200-$300 dollar PC is also no good, they are slow and laggy. Better off putting Linux on and of these.
@@STONE69_ You're right. I guess @aluza needs a clean install. I don't bother MS collecting data as long as all my accounts are safe (only I have access). Heck if I look for something to buy, I even got great deals through MS Edge ads 👍
I fully switched to Linux for all my computing in 2019 and haven't looked back.
I jumped to Linux Mint recently and I can't go back to 💩os
I know this situation. After I found my Linux distro, I can't use Windows 10 or 11 anymore ❤
What program are you using that you lost 2h of work? Doesn't it do periodic saves like virtually every modern program does to prevent such data loss?
@marekkedzierski8237 - He was most likely lying about losing 2 hours of work. Just to make the video more dramatic and persuade you to continue watching. Most of these RUclipsrs are hucksters. Beware.
If you have not linked your Microsoft Office to the cloud, it might not save your report automatically. You need a OneDrive connection for autosave to work. At least at work we have this kind of problem. All locally stored office documents with Office 365 are not auto-saved at all. Without manually saving the progress, it would be lost completely with the Blue Screen of Death.
I’ve not had a single issue with Windows 11… except for the whole shenanigans with requiring a Microsoft account and my increasing unease that I do not feel in control of my PC (that I built myself).
I have a feeling that the shoehorning of Copilot ‘A.I.’ into Windows is going to increase that unease.
Update: I’m now dual-booting Linux, having installed pop_OS on a second SSD… which was the easiest and quickest install of any operating system ever in my 27 years of using PCs and Macs.
No issues with any hardware, including my Nvidia GPU, and it even picked up and setup my multifunction WiFi printer without needing any bloated driver/app downloads from HP.
Currently installing Linux versions of the apps I use and all good so far, except there’s no Linux version of Serif’s Affinity suite, and Unity is a bit glitchy (though I’m used to that!)
A few of the games I’ve tested so far don’t work, but many do, and very well too. Valve have done remarkable things with Steam on Linux, and Lutris is a wonder.
I remember when reading in Personal Computer World magazine that the 32 bit Windows for Workgroups 3.11 has a lot of 16 bit code from Windows 3.1 and was shocked! I then didn't think there was any difference other than a name change.
I moved my main PC to Pop OS and the things I can't do on Linux I have a mini PC for. As a more or less OS agnostic IT person (I use FreeBSD, Windows and Linux on a daily basis) I can feel where you are coming from. Windows 10 was annoying but I could work around it, 11 has jumped the shark and I found myself hating it immediately.
Windows 11 UI is also bloated along with it being a pig with ram. Also, I found video and sound drivers a bit buggy as well.
Do a complete system debloat, hide the taskbar, install autohotkey with your own shortcuts, install a rainmeter and make your own taskbar with it (you can also write something reminiscent of a taskbar in autohotkey).
Then whatever Microsoft does to the system wouldn't bother you, because for you it will be WIN32 API/Programs + your own GUI. They will never touch or change the WIN32 API because it will break all popular software like Adobe, Autodesk, Solidworks etc.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd Why? Pop does everything I need without all the hassle. Might be good advice for someone who wants to stay with widows though.
@@nadtz If you have to have Windows specific apps, but hate Windows otherwise. You can turn it into a launcher of the WIN32 applications, not your general PC where you store passwords, browse etc.
I am against WSL/Windows Terminal as well, first, it prevents you from deleting UWP, WindowsApps dir, the Store, and second - if you need Linux just use Linux, each OS serves its own purposes.
@@JamesSmith-ix5jd Like I said good advice for someone who wants/needs windows. Kind of have to disagree with the WSL/terminal take though, while I can understand where you are coming from WSL makes too many things so much easier if you work on both windows and Linux but don't need a full blown Linux machine.
I relate to what you mentioned, the BSOD and the untimely updates. My W10 will end soon and I'm emigrating to the Penguin team. Btw, Vlad, I watched your video till the end. :)
The Windows rebooting in the middle of the night thing got me more than once, and that was on Windows 10 with settings tweaked to minimize update downloading/installing (e.g. metered connection). I'm guessing Windows 11 would be even worse, but I'm done with Windows for my personal non-work PC.
Microsoft would do the world a favour if they put new features on hold for a couple of years and used that time to do maintenance.
im a little confused about exe. like i def believe windows needs to clean up it's code but is there something about exe that breaks things or just sucks in general. or is that the thing you talked about containing applications to prevent mem leaks and panics?
It's more a problem of distribution than with exe files themselves. The fact that Windows still mostly relies on the user hunting the internet for exe files to manually install programs could be considered both a security risk (especially with the prevalence of fake ads having higher prominence than actual results on search engines like Google) and a huge inconvenience. The rest of the world is moving on to using more centralized systems from which all software can be pulled with more ease and security - on Linux these are mostly managed by third-parties, though there are efforts to make package management with more first-party support (particularly Flatpak and Snaps), while both Android and iOS are dominated by their App Stores. I would say though that this is also still a problem on MacOS as well with most (important) applications being .app files installed from manually downloaded .dmg images.
I was a long time Windows user until I finally got a MacBook Pro in 2021 and now I got a laptop from my college with Windows 11 pre-installed and I immediately installed Fedora on it.
I have a brand new install of Windows 11 Pro on one of my mini-PCs that is fully updated and debloated. It still gave me a random BSOD while idling. 😮💨
On the other hand my Linux install that I use extensively everyday has been up for months without any reboots. 💪
I remember getting hold of an old (ancient) laptop.
It was probably a 386 with 4MB ram or something like that and a spinning HD.
I installed DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 with Works on it.
The thing was LIGHNING FAST compared to my PC running windows XP at the time.
Boot to DOS prompt in 6 seconds, Windows responsive and ready to take input after 11 seconds, and Works just slapped you in the face the instant you clicked the icon!
We are moving backwards while trying to compensate and slow down the reverse with more "iron"...
The concept of a rusty car that has been repainted lots of times is perfect here
It felt good to hear your rant too!
What computer you using?
The only thing keeping me from fully switching to Linux fully is music software. I use Neural DSP plugins on a daily basis and i haven't figured out how linux works with all the pulseaudio, jack and pipewire stuff
I don't know either, but the distro i use just make pipewire work out of the box, I don't need to tweak. I guess i would need to change sampling rate of bluetooth codec
@@user-yc8vz8gx9e which distro is this?
when you mentioned that they don't cleanup their code, I'm curious about how other os like macOS and linux clean them up. do they like... dump the old code altogether and just write a new one?
yes they do with some compatibility layer but mostly rewrite what getting old.
Don't know about Mac, but Linus Torvalds himself say that user space compatibility (Desktops) should not be broken. They does it with compatibility code, with newer features back ported.
For example, the library for epoll (for using with TCP Sockets used in servers, chat applications, online games not a big deal, and other multiplexing IO operations) uses the function epoll_create back in the version 2.6.8, but then there are new and improved solutions. Their solution was to create a new function called epoll_create1, and alias the old code to the new improved code so legacy code can get the latest improvements without having to re-write the whole code-base.
The only reason I know this is because I'm writing an IRC chat server in C++ version 98 with only the standard library and system calls for maximum pain and difficulty as a school project.
i have this intel smart audio driver garbage thing that make my laptop audio doesn't work properly, when i uninstall it and reboot, the audio works as expected, but after every fuckin windows update it got enabled again and again and again, windows update is such a fuckin pain in the ass, i also use arch btw and updating stuff on arch is exciting while updating windows is such a dreadful task
No audio?
I never had BSoDs with my system, but what sold me on GNU/Linux was NTFS.
Yes, one thing sold me. The lack of a modern COW file system that prevented data loss. I did find out about ReFS recently and how to set it up with DISKPART, but... too little, too late. NTFS just isn't safe to use for data and the amount of problems I've had to deal with concerning data loss since I built my PC 3 years ago is absurd.
With GNU/Linux I have choices like ZFS, bcachefs, and btrfs. But these are well documented on how to use them. ReFS is pretty much alien to consumer grade systems where it's badly needed.
This is downright negligence on Microsoft's part to have used a filesystem for so long that's showing not only it's age but it's vulnerabilities.
Honestly, the rest of the system problems can be overlooked, but geez... How do you overlook the most basic of problems which is how data is stored, and how well it's protected?
ReFS...totally forgot about that one. EXT4, BTRFS, ZFS all feel like safe choices to me when installing a bleeding edge distro.
Never had a problem with those but with NTFS, never felt safe with it. Once it corrupted most of my data wich I had to restore those broken sectors with a program. Since then I've been starting thinking more on which filesystem is the most secure outside the writting/copy speeds. Hell, rather than security being something stable.

Feeling your pain with this video! I'm so tired of Microsoft doing things like blocking older processors and pushing AI stuff when all I want is a stable system. They need to hire more people and fix their bloated code. I switched to Linux a few months ago and it's been a huge relief. I'm only keeping windows to play games (but this will eventually change).
I've had a love / hate relationship with Windows for a long time. About 4-5 years ago I finally just decided to be done with it. Outside putting Windows 11 on a machine now and again just to see how it's changed / to stay up on it for when I need to help someone with a windows PC fix it, I've used Linux on my PC's.
In my family I'm the technical one but no where near your leave.. This small "rant" was an education for me. I had no idea Window was sort of cobbled together from 3.1/W95 till today. I thought W11 had aspects of perhaps W8.1, W10 with new W11 stuff. No wonder it has issues and needs constant updates. Thanks for the video...
This video hit the feels :)
I switched to Win 11 fairly early. That lasted maybe 1/2 hour. Switched right back to 10. I hate 11 with a passion. Working my way back into Linux as well.
I had a really bad experience with windows 11 on the first day of using it. I deleted a file and the whole screen went gray. I had to reset my computer for that dumb reason.
Using Windows like Sysyphus? I think you misspelled Syphilis :)
thats why i enjoy using linux, the developers put in a lot of work to fixing and improving code so that my experience can be better and not just for me but for the developers aswell.
soon a bunch of linux devs are meeting up in person to discuss and improve hdr support on linux desktops like kde plasma, gnome, up coming cosmic desktop from system76 and valve with their steamdeck.
mesa continues to improve for multiple hardware like amd gpus, intel gpus, even developers are creating a open source driver called nvk for nvidia cards, so users wont need to use nvidia's terrible proprietary driver on linux anymore.
and of course the linux kernel, the main part of linux continues to improve and get new features that actually matter for a good user experience
The only thing that has made my new gaming laptop with Windows 11 forced onto it was the Windows 10 Debloater (still perfectly compatible with Windows 11), which runs just one time with a bit of config to remove all the bloatware, telemetry, and the microsoft spyware off the system. After that I use ExplorerPatcher to personalize some things to bring back some old features (and ExplorerPatcher has very low, almost invisible overhead/RAM and CPU usage).
I've never actually got a bluescreen or system crash that was due to Windows 11 (with the exception of the bloated Microsoft Defender). The only BSoD I've ever gotten was just when I downloaded a fake BSoD screenshot and set it as my screensaver to prank my boss at work, lol.
dude, you are not alone!
It's all been downhill since 8 and the touch screen nonsense, now settings are scattered across either a butchered control panel or the new settings app which is slower and more annoying to deal with. Not to mention that despite Linux having a good bit more variation in design languages, I've still been able to put a dark theme on basically everything. Which even now Windows 11 doesn't have a way to do for some reason??
My win11 is dark themed, so that’s not true
@@aintgotnophd2196 Control panel, the copying/moving files prompt, windows tools being officially supported by microsoft but entirely breaking the color palette on dark mode, and almost any QT app that hasn't been re-exported to support the dark mode theming since these protocols were only added recently. Probably more official apps I'm forgetting now.
I don't get it I've been running Windows since 3.0 and basically every version except millennium edition and server editions running Windows 11 now and in the entire time I can count on one hand how many blue screens I've had I've tried Linux I tried Mac OS and both of them have had significantly more more crashes than Windows I have been running Windows for over 30 years now and still don't really have any issues like I said the entire time I've had maybe five crashes
Am I lucky that I didn't get BSOD in last 6 years?
I haven't had one in well over a decade.
I haven't had one since i played an old java MMO I think, on Windows XP in like 2011. I've even debloated Windows and months later it still working.
That being said if it wasn't for a bizarre issue and Nvidia not exposing undervolting in their Linux driver I would 100% be using Linux rn, there's a lot of cool stuff like desktop environment customization and i actually love updating via the terminal, really gives me feel good chemicals because I am a nerd.
Don't know why I'm watching this, I've never daily driven a windows machine so it's kinda irrelevant to me. But as a full time Linux user I do have to say that the past 4/5 years the Linux desktop has improved tremendously and I do recommend for the curious to actually give it a try.
One bug stops defender working properly, reported in 10 and 11. I've also had a boot bsod where the system can't detect the drive (possibly after a rogue update) yet it works after a reset. The command line in 11 sometimes reports back as windows 8 and windows 10 for certain tasks. The plus side is that most software since vista is still highly compatible, but in general windows is not worth paying for. They update it too often. It's starting to feel like windows as a service. A new skin and a couple of added or removed features does not make what I'd call a brand new OS
I have to agree with what you said in the rest of the video. The more leftovers being added, the more bloated the operating system will be. I feel like, they will always repeat this issue with each new version of Windows. After all, It's not just os being built on top of a os but also update on top of a update (say Windows 10 1809 made on top of 1803).
As someone who has been using Windows just like any regular person, i always had a number of issues with it even as far as Windows XP. I remember XP stopping to work all of sudden and we had to replace it with Ubuntu which ran very well. I eventually got Windows 7 on a laptop and it ran fine for a couple of years until it started to have issues around 2020 that i got forced into changing the operating system again, this time with Windows 10. It did not help at all that Windows 10 became much worse at stability that once i do one thing, it just gets corrupted very easily. Yet on other hand, i barely had any issues with Linux and it was very stable for a long time.
It's kinda weird talking about this considering that i feel like i'm alone on this but i thought sharing my experience might do something as little story to be entertained or something like that. Sorry to hear about what happened to your work.
I appreciate you sharing this. I can relate, I also have a history of yoyo-ing my way between Linux and Windows.
Common suffering makes for better comrades, comrade. 😄
My switch to Windows 11 last about three days. Three agonizing days. Three days of frustration. Three days of annoyance. Three days of be flabbergasted. How could things go so far off the tracks? I am convinced that not one competent manager who actually used Win 10 tried the switch from 10 to 11. My Lord. How disgraceful.
The day software from Adobe and the Office gets fully available on Linux based OS, Windows will die.
That won't happen and you know it. Still the issue of normies simply not giving jack shit about linux.
Windows 10 is so much better than Windows 11. The start menu alone is light years ahead of Windows 11. The live tiles idea was a bloody good one. If Windows was an evolving operating system, the live tiles concept would have been expanded throughout the OS for use on the desktop or even in File Explorer. So Microsoft just wants static icons now in the Windows 11 start menu? At least give users the option of switching between live tiles, tiles, live icons, icons or maybe details or a list? Giving users options is the way forward - that's how you keep people happy. A good OS should be more about the user experience than the OS designer's ego.
I save my work with nearly every change I make to a document. Two hours is... I can't even imagine not saving for two minutes.
I lost my work because Windows 11 didn't want to startup, it gave me a blank black screen so I restarted, it froze on startup and it still didn't boot, however after entering the startup menu and doing nothing, window does boots... like it's trolling me. f*** Windows 11
dreaper5813 If I don't use microsoft... then I use nothing, I don't like Mac os, I don't like Linux, I don't like Chrome OS, very limited... Microsoft is the best and for me my only option.
@dreaper5813 Not as silly as assuming shit. I have ran all the listed operating systems at some point, and most are not my type. Microsoft is the closest, but that doesn't mean I "love" them. Also, insulting me because "Microsoft gives me ads" is just stupid... Get it together before you say more bullshit
@dreaper5813safe to say you're being an asshole, he can have an opinion if he wants, no need to act like you're a tech God and frown upon someone because they called the Taskbar "knock off mac bar". If you find a need to state why it's not a knock-off and why mac os is better, than you're a crybaby
I would try Linux but I just don’t got the time to set up all the crap for my games and my modding. If I can’t just open up the game like I do in steam then I won’t touch it.
I'm sorry you lost that productive time and understand these gripes as well.
Great analogies btw.
Glad you enjoyed the clip! ♥️
lost six hours today just because I closed the notebook during a phone call. (Unlike, say, a simple MacBook Air, Windows notebooks close your programs when you close the notebook computer).
I have to use this machine for work, it feels like a computer from ~2006 despite being a 2023 machine. I don't know, I guess I should have been saving.
I have USB problems with my virtual machine when using VmWare on Windows 11. When I move the virtual machine to Windows 10 the problem goes away. Windows 11 should be considered beta.
But I was windows 10 user and move to windows 11 I never had any problems I seem happy with windows 11 now as well.
Still can't Windows 11's screensaver to automatically come on. And, by the numerous forum posts from other users, I'm not alone...
I use Windows 11. But, to be honest, I`m not happy with it. I never had a bluescreen but compared to something like Linux, it feels sluggish and it`s a ressource hog for no real good reason.
Unless you consider spaghetti code to be a good reason.
Titus winutil remove loot of bloat, my install of win11 takes 3 gigs of ram on idle.
His script is really good. I've had good luck with O&O Shutup 11 also. To me it allows you to adjust even more details of what runs and what doesn't. For a total replacement, look at Tiny 11. VERY interesting.
The funny thing is, windows has changed enough that, odds are an app that was made for, say, windows 2000, is going to run better in a windows2000 VM than it would on windows 11.
It really is the right way to do backwards compatibility, we have the hardware nowadays to pull it off without much penalty.
I am sick of the constant updates, so I switched to linux and so far I could not be happier with it.
haven't seen that screen since windows 8 ,
i thought they removed it since then ... constantly blue screening in windows 8
windows 10 and 11 ... absolutely nothing , why ? , because when something happens that Used to give me a blue screen , pc just restarts ...
i thought this was build in to windows 10 already , since i never saw a blue screen again ...
windows have been painting this Ford Scorpio for the last 39 years , the thing is COMPLETELY rusted through , but it looks nice , if you like BLEND colors that is
I must be lucky then, I've been using win 11for a number of years, and no bsod afaik. Are you fighting a bad driver maybe? I suspect there is a lot of cide in that codebase marmed " I have no idea why this works dont touch it" To answer your question, i like windows on the desktop/laptop side ( mostly because of games) For the other stuff I have a linix box running stuff
I feel this to my bones. The amount of times I was supposed to be working on code in my game project, but was spending HOURS fixing GPU drivers because of an outdated registry system and poorly made display INF files just makes me want to scream.
I remember the first year with Mac OS, doing work, and I was bored. Then I realized what it was. I wasn't fixing shit all the time. I would just get the work done and go to something else.
Suddenly, I had all this spare time I didn't know what to do with.
So understand: Windows is NOT RIGHT. At all. They can be just as solid as other OSES if they just take the time to fix it.
Well, other people don't have problems with drives. Some people have similar problems with drivers and whatnot on Linux. Personal example really doesn't cut it here in terms of speaking about an OS objectively. I can say that I had 0 problems I can't fix easily on Windows but I'm not saying that it has 0 problems for everyone or it's right an objectively better OS.
They add new requirements for no good reason. 24H2 got POPCNT added which I didn’t care for: I could still boot from it but every new version is only supported for 24 months! Its a rat’s race with Windows as a service. Will the stripped down LTSC version be any better? We’ll see.
i started using fedora cuz' coding on windows is pain in the ass. I was losing significant time to just configuring node package to work. So i started win+fedora dual boot cuz' i am a gamer and i just want to play games too. but i didn't know the fact that linux is able to maintain games, it is actually better. so i tried some games and they worked better than windows and i delete windows right that time. yes there is some games still doesn't work because of anti-cheats but i don't care cuz' i'm not a huge multiplayer gamer at all. i don't care abuot pubg or destniy etc. and at the same time i have no program that only works on linux and i have to use. for example photoshop, excel etc. i just don't need them. now booting is so magnificent cuz' on windows actual booting time was like 2 mintues and on linux it is like 10 seconds.
I've always thought that if they wanted to modernise Windows quickly, the easiest way to do this would be to bring back "Windows 10 in S Mode" (or a Windows 11 equivalent) and to make it free for everyone (consumers, manufacturer etc.). This would be an easy way to get a lot of users to use Windows Store apps and this would force developers to make creating modern apps a priority. Then they could get rid of the legacy code as very few people would need to use legacy apps (and those would just have to use a VM or an emulator).
Yup, containerizing old code and modernizing the rest is what they should've done, imo
No not free for businesses LOL in 2025 if you stay on 10, you will have to pay monthly or yearly, its your choice.
@@STONE69_ Then create a "Windows 11 in S Mode" and make it free. It isn't hard to create a version of the OS that only allows downloading apps from the Windows Store and it is an easy way to encourage developers to modernise their code.
The BSOD has been a major feature of Windows since the beginning.
You can find signs of XP, and older windows versions because WIndows has incredible support for decades old software. Both Linux and MAC dorps backward compatibility and libraries - is that really better?
I kinda gave up on windows as my main OS right around when the first reviews on Vista came out. Since I'm tech support and hobbyist, not a hardcore gamer, running windows as a guest under Virtualbox just became normal. Saved me imaging a laptop that started setup in polish since I could install Win11 as a guest, then install the necessary drivers, then clone the guest image to the laptop. Windows just completely refused to install lacking a driver. Never had Linux do that.
The blue screen of death should not be happening on Windows 11 based on the strict requirements computers/laptops need to upgrade to it
I bought a Windows 11 laptop by mistake. Tried to use it, but it was impossible. Couldn't install Word. Ever attempted caused to push subscription Windows 365.
I gave it away and bought a refurbished Windows 7 laptop with SSD drive. It is superb. I can install Word 2000 and all my favourite apps. Glad to get rid of Windows 11.
i've gotten to the point that i've made an hackintosh for the same reasons and because is full of microsoft things keeps getting in the way, the most hilarious thing is that now my pc is twice or more sometimes faster with mac os than with windows 11
I would be on Linux right now if not for Windows' somewhat mature HDR support and Jriver Media Center. I'm a little worried that Wayland will never properly support automatic refresh rate and color space switching. Their view is that this should be handled at the compositor level, but there are too many compositors and they would have to agree on a standard method. All of this will take years to develop, if it ever does. See GNOME's continued failure to support VRR.
In my case, i use Artix Linux with Openrc to work, browse the internet, shop, but to play games I have to use Windows 11 and I've had it installed since 01/12/22 it is updated to version 23H2 and I've never, yes that's right, I've never had blue screen problems, the only thing I had to get around when I installed it was the mandatory TPM system. For me, it works fine in games, otherwise I use Linux.
With each version of windoze release, I get more and more convinced that Microsoft do not want to make OS any more. Been on Linux for over ten years, and never going back
I like your video. Me, I installed Zorin OS (Ubuntu) on my desktop and Linux mint cinnamon on my laptop. Zorin is awesome and only uses about 2gb ram on average.
the second I can get wine to actually properly work without "sementation-fault"ing my computer constantly I am ditching windows 11
Switched to Linux couple of years ago, have all I need ...not Looking Back !!!
- Firefox, Opera, Chrome
- LibreOffice
- Gimp
- VLC
- nGinx
- vBox, Qemu
Most of my work is Web based using browser & Libreoffice
I gave it a try and now i hate mysef cause formatting my os to windows 10 and reinstall everything will be a pain.
Back up your files and do a clean install with a USB stick. ... You might also just want to try downloading the Win 10 file, double click on the file and click set up. That way, no need for the USB stick. It works from 10-11, but not sure if you can go back this way. I will have to try this method.
I finally did the switch to Linux and it was the best decision ever. Had too many blue screens on Windows 11
You hit the nail. I second every word of your "rant". The Windows OS is just a pain-in-the-ass, it is patronizing and infaltizing the user and restricts his options in any ways imagible.
Most of the time a bluescreen is a hardware issue where the kernel just shits itself, I don't know how much different the kernel is between win10 and 11. Your other points are definitely fair tho
It is re-written in Rust, and they uses bunch of unsafe code for some weird reason (probably lazy, or some proprietary shit that will only work with direct hardware wizardry).
Since windows 3.1, I feel that we have just been beta testers for windows. Still waiting for the finished product.
Who works for 2 hours without saving?! On ANY computer/OS?
I DID like Windows. Then the spying + taking control over my computer as well as redundant (MS abandonware) software that I spent a lot of money all got too much. I moved to Linux. I'm happy to get my computer back again.
why isnt this viral
i thaught this had 1 million views but how only 9.6k
The Penguin called me 5 years ago haven't looked back and now seeing all the bullshit that's been going on with windows/microsoft i'm glad i'm with the penguin.
The thing with package manager is at least from my experience with linux they can break in their entirity for no good reason meaning you can't install or update anything. Windows is unlikely to change because it has the monopoly on desktop and laptop. As long as this is the case microsoft will see no need to change.
my win10 ryzen 3600 desktop feels much faster than my win11 with ryzen 580h thats insane
i got explorer.exe restart himself and close every folders that were open.. not sure what the problem with it but also win11 feels super sluggish. that's a shame
also i do have the telemetry and care about those things
winget is not a package manager because Windows doesn't have package management, aside from the MS Store. winget is a repo interface and a launcher for installers that also tries to keep track of installed software. But "installation" in Windows has no standard definition. Installers or MSI bundles are executables that can do whatever they want on the filesystem, or in the registry.
That said... most BSODs are caused by hardware. Also, if you did an upgrade from 10, consider a clean install. Yes, Linux distros won't give you a hard time for NOT doing a clean install when you want the new version. But they can give you a hard time in other ways (skill issue)
To me, 11 has been nothing but improvements over 10. But I understand how big of a pain not having the taskbar on the side is for ultrawide users or many, many other things...
I've been on Linux since the mid 90s (my first distro was Slackware) and have never gone back to Windows... and never will.
