Is this a good time to ask if anyone has some good reasons to upgrade to windows 11? ( other than getting security updates past 2025) - I would love to hear them :)

No. I un-upgraded the machine I upgraded after 2 weeks. It was unbearable. Just sold it on eBay before Christmas. Only own a MacBook Pro now.

The new tiling window management, when it works, is a nice tiling WM for non-nerds. Everything else is worse. I cannot see any other change from W10 that is not a downgrade, when it's not outright features or settings that disappear totally for reasons. They managed to make the start menu even worse than the W10 one which was already utmost garbage inherited from 8. At this point I’m even questioning wether they became mad of if they just want to insult users.

Getting new forced updates is one of the greatest drawbacks of Win11 compared to say Win7. Security is just the excuse to push user hostile feutures down our throats by remote code execution from MS servers.

  Windows 7 was peak Windows. Sane enough defaults, power user settings still accessible _and respected_, didn't have ads or run electron everything. If MS would've stopped fucking changing everything, but increasing security instead, it would still be king and not losing market share. Instead we have this Win 11 bullshit, forced down your throat everything, because MS knows better than YOU. While it continues to be bloated and doesn't do what you want or actually need.

    Because 7 was their last UI aimed squarly at the mouse and keyboard user.

HDR support is miles better, and it has Auto HDR which is great.
