Ive been using win 11 on my laptop for a couple months now.
I like the new UI, it feels simpler and less gaudy. The drop down menu expansion thing is fine. I also prefer the redesign of the settings app. I find casting my screen and bluetooth works better. Windows has been missing something decent window snapping features forever and although it's a bit clunky I appreciate that it's there.
The only thing that has annoys me is the taskbar not disappearing when its supposed to, leading to it covering the bottom of maximized applications. Most of the time its not there but sometimes it'll just stick after coming up.
I didn't know about the android apps feature but I might give it a shot when I go home. Widgets I just haven't used at all despite being aware of them.
I still have win10 on my desktop. I don't remember the switch being painful when I went to the rolling release windows insider on my laptop. Frankly win10 is fine too, so unless there's an android app I want to play around with I wouldn't bother switching.

I've been using windows 11 for a few months as well. For window snapping, I simply enjoy Powertoys and will stick to that since it gives me more customization options.
- tssva 5y agoI also have the issue with the taskbar sometimes not disappearing but I've had the same issue on Windows 10, various Linux DEs and macOS. It must for some reason be a more difficult problem than it would seem. The biggest issue I have with Windows 11 is that the taskbar can't be moved from the bottom without a registry hack. I find the biggest UI improvement to be in the file manager. I also find the whole thing to be a little better performing than Windows 10.
- gobookdev 5y agoExact same for me, gave Windows 11 a try, really liked all the new features, only downgrade is not being able to put the taskbar on the side of the screen. Arch Linux will always be my daily, but I think they've done a good iteration, other comments probably haven't actually tried it.
- Brave-Steak 5y agoMy biggest annoyance is that they've removed the ability to open the task manager by right-clicking the taskbar. Instead, I have to right-click the Windows icon in the bottom left. Just ... why? What benefit is there to not letting me right-click anywhere on the bottom part of my screen? Do none of these muppets even use Windows?
