I don't care for Win10 GUI. Hoping Win11 will fix it. Videos make it look more like modern Linux, which I like.

Install went well. All devices recognized. First and only game I tested(Control) runs great.

Post pix of things and stuff :D
 
WSL is much simpler!
Linux GUI apps run without third party 'xserver'.
WSL drives show up in Windows Explorer.

Haven't tried GPU acceleration in Linux apps yet.

Some sound latency issues in Linux GUI apps
 
Downloading Win11 arm64 preview now. Gonna check it out in a VM on my Macbook. That way if anything goes tits-up I'll just redo the VM.

Maybe it's just the ARM64 version? I dunno.

Obligatory screenies.

Installation went flawlessly and programs that were already installed, like MS Project 2019, work like a charm. Kinda impressed, actually.

You gents are tempting me, but I'm still going to wait it out a bit.

Yeah it's definitely copying some Linux & MacOS look & feel. I can't say that I'm thrilled with the way many of the system setting pages look. It really does feel like a mobile UI. I'm sure it will continue to evolve as MS gets user feedback.

So far it's been pretty stable, though I did have Explorer crash on me and restart. Didn't lose any data, it just reloaded explorer.exe automatically. I wouldn't use this as my main and only OS right now. It's fun to play with though.
 
I really like the center start menu. 38" Ultrawide means I have to make a lot of movement to get down to the corners.
 
Installing on my notebook, do not expect good joojoo out of this since its an inplace upgrade :mad:

Would rather have a serparate ISO I could install to a USB drive and do a clean install.
 
Personally I'm not a fan of the Start Menu UI change at all. It's easy to whip your mouse to the corner, even if your motion is not precise it will slide along the edge of the screen and go right to the button. Center of screen doesn't benefit from that advantage.

With that being said, I am sure I can modify the UI back to my WinXP-esque preference.
