My {sniffle} Win7 desktop {sniffle} bit the dust a couple of weeks ago. I decided to go with a Win10 replacement.
So far, the replacement (Win10) has been okay, but not great. I lost use of my flatbed scanner and Xerox color laser printer — no updates of drivers. [Had that happen in the move from XP to 7, a decade ago.]
I also have a Linux Mint laptop I use more and more.
From what I have read, Win11 has more cosmetic changes than operational changes.
[I still hate the ribbon menu bars in programs. Hate! Hate! Hate! them.]
I have been playing around with Virtual Box in hopes that I can get the scanner and printer working through them.
I'm just going to come out and say it: Windows 11's UI is a complete shitshow. Part ChromeOS, part Gnome UI, part Win7 UI, part Win10 UI and the mix and match of rounded and squared corners throughout just makes it look like a jumbled up mess.
The lack of consistency in the UI should be a deal-breaker for everyone.
I deleted the VM I installed it on. I'll keep the Win10 VM that I need for MS Office/work related stuff. Windows 11 can take a flying leap.
