Microsoft Launches Windows 11 Operating System

Every other windows is traditionally garbage. Xp=good, vista=garbage, 7=good, 8=garbage,10=good, 11=garbage.
 
so this is system from mobile devices with more useless cloud integration, more ads, more data scrapping and a future system as a service subscription payment model? big, fat, middle finger to you ms.

The company i work for still uses it but is also using teams in tandem. However, Skype is scheduled to die at my company later this year.

some would argue that Xp=good, vista=garbage, 7=good, 8=garbage,10=garbage, 11=potentially good.

So what is the best Linux distro to use with Steam's Proton?
Click to expand...
Any of your distro choice. You can install steam to any distro. But I would suggest Arch based Manjaro. Or if you like to tinker, Arch

My reasoning is installing packages is just easy once you get the hang of it. No need to add anything on repositories (PPA vs AUR)

If anybody is unable to install this I just created a WINTOUSB with the ISO and used a Active@ to copy the USB over to a SSD. Have Fun
 
The speed at which I adopt a new Windows OS, by the time I move to Windows 11 they'll be on to 12. I just made the official move to 10 on my gaming system and look, here's 11 coming out.

Same thing happened when I moved to Vista, about 4 months later Windows 7 officially released. I finally jumped off Vista once it hit EOL and transitioned to 7 and I only jumped from 7 when I got my 5900x.

I hate Windows 10 and update headaches it has given me. I'm so happy that I went with a Windows 10 Pro version and disabled updates. 3 forced updates on my Plex server that caused complete failures of the OS was it for me. I hate Windows 10. My hope is they don't fuck it up and have update issues with Windows 11.....but then again, this is MS we're talking about.

So there is a tool to check if your system is compatible with Windows 11.

you will need to have TPM 2.0 on. This is a new requirement.

That's a requirement for OEMs. Who in the DIY community has a TPM module installed?

I mean, if you want Secure Boot or Bitlocker, of course you need one, but I think it's kinda rare outside of OEMs systems.
 
As far as I have seen, from the leaked installer list you have Windows 11 Pro Workstation and Windows 11 Pro; guess TPM requirement is made only for W11 Workstation which are mainly computers used in companies.

I am not sure for Intel (but i suspect it's similar), but by example on my AMD DIY desktop, i went to bios and enabled Firmware fTPM and i was able to pass the Windows 11 upgrade compatibility checker. TPM 2.0 is now listed in the requirement. anything that is semi recent should have it but non-oem part probably have it turn off by default.
 
Nice to see Microsoft wants to reinvigorate the hate for Windows 8/10/10X/11.

Anyone else in IT see this and start feeling a panic attack coming on?

Nah man, one of our clients still uses Windows 7 in their production environment. The problems they had to make Microsoft Teams to work, geez.

We are 100% windows 10, about 5% done deploying 21H1, else on 20H2. i know a lot of people are scared of latest version, with proper deployment of Ring, you can generally catch and adapt to newer things when they hit you. With Autopilot, intune (or Endpoint Manager) Deploying and maintaining a windows 10 environment never been that easy.

Let say we had more problem with Azure AD Authentication(including O365) because some microsoft Engineers intern keep pushing broken code to the authentication servers.

and i am talking on 4000+ computers there.

I would not say 10 is that good, they added a ton of telemetry and forced updates. They pretty much had to give it out for free for Windows 7 users and force them to upgrade for 10 to overtake 7.
 
Hi,
At least it didn't at the beginning want to restart to install updates and then bsod lol
 
"Launches" and no iso available? How is that "launched"?
 
Was kind of hoping they would at least provide an open beta like Windows 8, though after the presentation I'm honestly fine that they didn't.

"For those who missed Lycanwolfen pointing it out in post #18, MS Account + online connection are now compulsory for Home users just to install it:-"

Just like Apple Then?

To be fair, I personally couldn't care less. I use my Microsoft Account since it's linked to my Office 365 subscription, so no changes for me. But my mom and grandmother don't use MS accounts, so their machines are gonna keep going with Pro editions.

Btw, doesn't Android require to use a Google account too? Seems to me that this account requirement is becoming the standard now.
 

Ha I laugh! I'm on Windows 11 though by WiNtoUSB... [I copied the USB via Active@]
