Question for those who know more than me: how much is different 11 from 10, obviously excluding the desktop theme? I imagine very little but I’m curious.
I use windows at work, it’s basically the same except for looks. I do development and have a weird setup and it didn’t break after I unexpectedly updated to windows 11 by accident (nobody told me I was added to the list of people being updated). File manager is worse imo but you can still get to the old options menu, they’re just buried down a layer.
The system clock no longer shows seconds when you click on it which is annoying.
It’s like a modern version of the worst parts of Vista.
The UI is a clunky mess. I had to spend a week to make it about usable. Every menu is now a submenu of a new new menu, so you often have to click 3-4 times for stuff you’d have in a top-level right click menu not so long ago. Now they’ve been doing that for a while now, so some settings are getting quite deep at this point.
The whole thing feels unresponsive and sluggish.
Ostensibly it’s to protect things like credit card information. In reality it’s to make sure Microsoft has more control over your computer than you do.

The main difference is that it requires TPM 2.0, which allows applications to run in a fully encrypted mode and prevent user tampering.
Oh no! Not the user tampering! 😱

I mean, for most users there’s not much meaningful difference between OS’s other than the UI, especially when comparing iterations of the same OS
