I'm not even sure why Windows 11 exists, I can't see any real difference over Windows 10 (once I move the start menu back to the left) Hell, I don't even know

I'm not even sure why Windows 11 exists, I can't see any real difference over Windows 10 (once I move the start menu back to the left) Hell, I don't even know what's the difference between Windows 7 and 11

10 and 11 sure, but 7 and 11 have quite a few differences under the hood. WSL, the new terminal system, hardware scheduling for GPUs, direct storage, REBAR, etc.

11 was meant to be Microsoft's "Windows 10X" for a Surface brand dual-screen folding product. The product folded before launch and they decided to merge Windows 10 stable to the 10X as an outcome of their infighting around the fold.

The internal version number is still Windows 10. Edit: some references: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/824c7457489366494f0f10fd3369dc30f3a3c360 https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/824c74574893...

Windows 11 has two features that I appreciate enough to hesitate going back to 10, specifically AtlasOS. The first being auto-HDR. I don’t have to manually switch my displays to HDR when I launch a 3D game with HDR support, and I don’t have to have the awful always on HDR on my desktop. The second being Windows 11 remembering window position when you disconnect and reconnect monitors. It’s great being able to take my laptop off the dock with two monitors, then bring it back and my windows go back to where they were in each display. Windows 10 just puts them all on the primary display.

The whole "TPM required" thing probably necessitated a major version increase...

Windows 11 has a lot of improvements under the hood, like better memory management, extra wsl features, better multi screen management etc
