Ask HN: What is your experience with Windows 11?

• orionblastar 4y ago
  I don't have a newer system that can run it.

  For some reason (probably our skip-reading habbit), I read the title as Windows 3.11 and was really curious what are people going to say. I always wondered how much were features "for workgroups" used back in the day? :)

  Win11 feels much like Win10 but a bit smoother, and the advertising/info feeds are less in-your-face intrusive, with the Start menu and notifications alerts feeling kind of more like an understated Xbox. Still a bit noisy though, you realise you are being subtly marketed to. I do like the new start bar position centred instead of left aligned. However I probably won't use Win11 much since it's on a spare NUC and win11home disallows RDP from external devices and my daily driver machines are mac/linux VNC or something similar might work though but I didn't try it yet. I did manage to get HyperV working on Win11Home after a few registry hacks that some smart people kindly blogged about, to keep my old Windows VMs of legacy software available for occasional reference.

  About the same as Win 10, with some slight improvements to window snapping and of course WSLg.

  Positive in general. Just two annoyances. First not being to able put the task bar on the side any longer and second (more annoying) not being able to drag a document into an app that's running on the taskbar and open it.

  slower than win10 (wich was already slower than win8, wich was sl... etc), more bloat than win10, unfinished features all over the place, ugly new and limited task bar and start menu, lot of design inconsistencies
