Windows 11 Upgrade notes.

Why'd I do it? 
They took away one of the "features" I used the most. The ability to drag a file to one of the applications on the task bar and have it pull up that app. Ugh.

That little blue dot in the task bar gets louder every day.
But I have a new laptop coming Tuesday that's already got 11 loaded. FML

You guys should take your laptops and flash Linux Fedora 35 on there.
Project is supported by IBM/Redhat. Always up to date. Has a default desktop that reminds me a lot of MacOS(Although you can get the windows vibe by getting the KDE Version of Fedora). If you have android you can get MacOS/iPhone level of integration with KDE connect app. Shared clipboard, instant file sharing, etc.
You can even load it along side of Windows so everytime you boot up you get the choice to boot into Fedora or Windows if you need to jump back and forth for compatibility of certain apps.
With modern Linux you can get 99% of all the programs you need without opening the terminal once, and when you do its literally copying and pasting commands from the software vendor's website.
Enjoy your newfound privacy, and up to date Linux software. As opposed to things like Ubuntu and Mint which are on rather old kernels. The days of Linux being obscure, and high barrier to entry are over.

I actually really like the changes. 0 complaints so far. Well done!

You have a couple of weeks to roll back. After that, you're stuck on 11.

I mean you could always just back up your stuff on onedrive or other back up solution, download the windows 10 iso and reinstall windows 10.
Not really stuck by any means.

Will Windows 11 run faster than 10?

This... The only thing Windows is needed for nowadays is Office (and some games, though less daily), and unless you are specifically in a desktop publishing career, online suites or alternatives like LibreOffice are enough.

Probably not. I've been running a version of Beta & Developer updates (not a clean install). So it's probably not the best preforming, but there are parts that are more responsive, but I like most of the interface changes. Published test results on performance I've seen were mixed and basically a wash between 10 & 11.

Which is funny because Microsoft pushed for a universal open standard (OOXML) which in theory would allow you to use any OS and doc software. Then it was found they weren't following the standard.

Yep. As someone who works in IT and only uses office here and there. Libre office is completely fine.
Especially being able to save the documents as .docx or whatever the proper file type is.
Been using fedora daily for a few months now. Everytime I've tried other distros I come back.
Manjaro was another I liked by Fedora is the best blend of stability and fast/current updates.
Fedora also has an industry titan behind it so it's very well polished and has excellent 3rd party support.
I've got Microsoft teams and Edge on as well. So for all my work task I just login there and I've basically got seemless integration at that point.

I am rotating through some Arch variants, specifically I went to Manjaro and am now on Garuda, each with KDE Plasma. I gotta say, I've been thoroughly impressed with how well they work. Even my Bluetooth works fine.
Integration with M$ is, of course, spurious or lacking at times. I just use the web apps for most of what I do for work, and rclone for OneDrive synchronization. Libre office is acceptable for most use cases, at least for me.
I still have W10 on my original SSD, but I got a new 1TB SSD for dual-booting that I put Linux on. I haven't booted to Windows on purpose in probably 6 months. Too much longer and I'll be ready to wipe that SSD and use it for testing other flavors of Linux to find what I like most.

No. I have a high end machine and there is a delay when clicking on anything that did not exist in Win10.

If you want to upgrade a Win 10 it has have the TPM (trusted platform module} 2.0 chip, Win 10's typically have a TPM 1.2. However, there is a workaround, but you will sacrifice the security the TPM 2.0 gives you.
Look in the Device Manager security tab to see which chip you have.
I have not had many complaints about Win 11 yet.
If you want to know the workaround I'll post it later.

Seriously!? That's one of the best time-savers ever invented. WTF
