Is Windows 11 really that bad for gaming?

I'm on Win10 but have to buy a new PC. Naturally everything comes with Windows 11 now. How bad is the performance and privacy rape?

you know you can just get a blank drive without Windows and clone your current install over right

Who cares about that. Windows 11 is just shit to use. Install 10 on it and be done with it.

you have a lot of debloating to do so it doesn't matter if your computer came with 11 since you'd be reinstalling your os anyway.

Is Windows 11 really that bad for gaming?

It's terrible for ANYTHING.

I'm on Win10 but have to buy a new PC. Naturally everything comes with Windows 11 now.

Format the drive, install W10 IOT LTSC Enterprise Edition 2021 + crack it + run OOSU10 on it.
Or better yet: switch to LINUX.

How bad is the performance and privacy rape?

Were you even alive when Wee8 dropped?
Yeah, that was a massive clusterfuck and downgrade in every conceivable manner from Win7.
Then 10 came out, and was EVEN WORSE than 8.
And now, Wee11 blows both out of the water, pushing AI spyware, forced Windows Store policies, and literally claiming that MS has right to control and disable your HW or SW if they so desire.

Is Windows 11 really that bad for gaming?

It's mostly no different than 10, if you install an enterprise/LTSC version. Has a better UI though (unless you're an autist who has a hardon for grey boxes and sharp corners).

Their spyware impacts my gaming performance, so yes, it is bad for gaming

Windows 10 is gonna be unsupported this year only a matter of time before steam stops working on it

Has a better UI though

Fuck off. Those menus WITHIN menus within menus is gay as fuck, and then they had to REMOVE THE FUCKING CONTROL PANEL.

REMOVE THE FUCKING CONTROL PANEL

It's literally still there if you're too retarded to use the new settings UI.

It's like Windows 10, but better if you have a Zen4 CPU

REMOVE THE FUCKING CONTROL PANEL.

It's still there, it's just that most of the shit just opens the settings for it. Setting up printers are work is a clusterfuck because I miss the old control printers dialog box.

The ui is one of the worst parts about 11.

Try out Windows LTSC. Don't listen to linuxcucks.

It fucking sucks. Some older games like dark souls 3 just launch to a black screen and never load, and you can't close it without the task manager. There's no fix at all.

how do you not know what LTSC is by now

its the same shit windows has always been BUT OH GOD THE UI IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT grow up niggas

GOOD MORNING SIRS

even LTSC will come to an end, and at that point are you going to roll over and accept your Win 11 asspounding, or will you buckle down and finally figure out Linux

or will you just keep praying SteamOS becomes viable for daily desktop usage

I personally prefer linux because it annoys me less than windows, but LTSC is a GAZZLION times better than regular WIndows.
LTSC is the mildly annoying always updating/virus scanning thing, but regular flavor is basically the idiocracy TV.

Worse. Not just different.

Every encounter with Windows 11 i had included the drivers being shit and hardware not working correctly.

works on my machine

Good for you

I had maybe 3 BSOD's over almost a decade on win 7, I literally get 3 BSOD's a month on gay ass windows 11, it's that bad.

On the contrary, it's one the best things about 11. MS finally getting their shit together and forcing some consistency across the entire OS was long overdue.

I literally get 3 BSOD's a month on gay ass windows 11, it's that bad.

Skill issue. I've been using 11 since it released and had 0 BSODs.

The start menu was perfect. Copying the cope that is OSX is bad.

nobody:

rajeesh: don't listen to the voices, no they're winning ahhhh

completely mindbroken

You haven't used Windows 11 at all, liar.

I don't really care about shilling linux, but I get a good laugh out of wintodds in these threads thinking they're trapped

Usability is what a ui is for. 11's ui fails at that intentionally. It's shit.

Microsoft will support ltsc

Other companies are at their own discretion

Works on my machine.™

but my taskbar isn't in the shape of a dog penis!

Don't care.

How is Linux gaming

I don't want to write a paragraph in the command prompt for the simplest shit

generally completely fine with Proton. Sometimes even better than Windows since bloatware like Easy Anti-Cheat and Denuvo don't work on Linux

Steam didn't drop support for Windows 7 until four years after Microsoft did

Just install Nobara Linux and you won't ever have to touch a tty. You'll be gaymen in minutes

it is bad for everything except telemetrificating you

It can't run games with anti-cheat, mainstream programs like Adobe products, other CAD software, or even Microsoft Word. Nobody's going to handicap themselves with a shitty OS, keep coping unless they're a tranny NEET programmer, shill.

"you don't need those programs"

Yes, I do. Kill yourself and still staying on Windows. I don't need to make my tools more inconvenient. Alternative options are NOT literal replacements.

"we're talking about vidya games"

Linuxfags will always try to goalpost.

It was Google's support that Valve relied on, and it still runs/plays games on 7 according to the actual 7fags here.

they sell your data

"what data?"

your DATA! YOUR FUCKING DATA! THE DATA THAT IS YOURS!

"but what of mine is worth selling?"

YOUR FUCKING DATA!

NOOOOOO I NEED MY GOYSLOP PROGRAMS

oh no not Photoslop and Word whatever will I do

BUT OH GOD THE UI IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT

it's different for the sake of being different. it isn't a improvement, it hampers progress on purpose, for the sake of 'modernization' - we in these modern times live in dog shit, so yes, i guess it is appropriate for them to do this.

same

Yeah if you had downloaded those games on Windows 7 and never updated steam, you can still play your old games on W7.
Why would you want to play online in the year of our lord 2025 when there's bunch of hackers and cheaters from subhuman countries on PC that will bust your rig because they got upset? 3rd world shitters shouldn't be allowed online for this reason. They aren't even any good in video games.

I wish i could just keep using Win7, it was perfect

It can't run games with anti-cheat

It depends on a game, some games with chinese spyware doesn't run, the others do. You could just say that Fortnight and LoL don't work, but then nobody would take you seriously.

Adobe products

You can run photoslop up to 2022 version, including the last good one, CS6.

CAD software

No idea, but it probably works simply because you're always lying.

Microsoft Word

lol

Soon there will be Windows 12 and people will be saying "Nup, I'm sticking with 11".

Elon Musk could tell me the sky is blue and I still wouldn't believe him

Using it right now, in fact

Lmao, no, works much better for me.

Force people to upgrade to Windows 12.

Well suppose that's it. Linux time.

the_cycle_of_winjeet.webp

Windows 12 will be worse than 11. Won't make 11 good.

You don't interact with the context menu. It doesn't work for you you just don't use it.

if windows shill a sexy 3d girl in promo like samsung did, i might cave

LOL MS SED DEY GUN MAKE WINBLOZE (UFFISHUL NAME) 12 AN ENEMA DAT GOZE IN UR ASSHOLE LOL ROFL LMAO

Microsoft was also not pushing that hard as they are for you to switch to 11. Plus they've learned some new tricks so you're not gonna be able to be a useless eater forever.

I'm not expecting forever, but I don't feel like I'm ready to take the Linux plunge just yet.

And hey, society might collapse entirely in the next few years and none of it will matter anyway.

It sucks but it sucks in the way Windows has always sucked. If you have been using Windows with no complaints you might as well keep doing it. It has some new and advanced forms of sucking but they are mostly in line with what Windows has always done so I'm sure you won't even notice. Meanwhile True Gentleman Gamers like myself use MacOS for computer stuff and Linux for gaming.

BUT THEY SELL YOUR DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yeah, remember windows XP having that forced cloud storage for your documents and that AI that took screenshots of your desktop every 5 seconds?

Windows XP would have had that if it was feasible tech at the time, it sucked for its time in the same way 11 sucks.

it's my data, why do they get to sell it

t-terms and c-conditions

I'll terms my condition up your ass and break it off inside

sorry chud, it's their data it just happens to be about you.

use win11

work on some cutting edge tech no one have ever seen

recall copies your shit and AI notifies Gates there's a great opportunity to make money

finish your work, time to patent this shit

get btfo by microsoft as they already have the parent and are working on starting industrial scale production

anyone working on actual cutting edge tech at risk of corporate espionage like that is on an air-gapped Linux system already

how do i make window 11 not shit?

use a different operating system

You make tweaks using stuff made by random ruskies on Github and pray nothing bad happens or that you don't get your settings reset after any sort Windows update.

government introduces a porn ban

recall have collected all the data about you and they know you have many terabytes of it on your ssds

knock knock..

remove all the AI- and pajeet-generated kernel code, rewrite Rust parts in C++, rewrite desktop in C++ instead of Electron, remove all the forced telemetry

they all come in and ask for the source

good thing its cartoons and anime boobs

Install it. It's automatically awesome out of the box.

download their script

see? it's open source, you can read it yourself!

totally safe bro!

look closer

it's running an external closed source script

is it true that win 11 can hog your internet speed because they send data to microshart server? In my workplace all PCs use win 11 and the internet speed is slow af, maybe because of that?

It's great for games that support Direct Storage. Instant loading faster than even PS5 is nice. It's the only operating system with HDR support that functions as well.

I love Windows 11, it has a pretty UI and it just works.

No. Telemetry stuff is small packets. I maintain my max speed all the time.

Can you still set it up with Local Only account?
When I got my new computer I had it disconnected from the internet and was able to fully set it up with local only and never made a microsoft account.
I would never get a microsoft account. That's a deal breaker for me.

>it's running an external closed source script

This can be an absolute rabbit hole, if you actually decide to go check it yourself you will land at scripts maintained by one guy on an empty accounts.
Absolute 'just trust me bro' way of doing things.

Everyone has a Hotmail account they made back in 96.

I would never get a microsoft account. That's a deal breaker for me.

It's time for your skitzo meds, John

No, I don't have any email attached to my Windows 11 installation. None. I refuse to have anything like that linked to my OS.

(You): files.catbox.moe/rtq6s7.mp4

Just install AtlasOS
Windows 11 debloated and customized with AtlasOS is the best OS yet and it's not even close

Then load the iso into Rufus to get around the hardware restrictions. Or put together a custom xml file to get rid of the bloat, account requirements, hardware restrictions and telemetry in one go.

for old games yea, there's like an insane amount of older games that wont work or have weird bugs. there's older multiplayer games with battleeye anti cheat that dont work unless you apply the patch and some games are still not updated because the studios are dead or hardly living

Anyone who takes privacy as some kind of tin foil hat conspiracy theory is not only a danger to them selves but everyone around them.
If I had a friend that thought like that I would drop them immediately.

and if they voted in a way I didn't like

Faggot.

fuck that bad?

They're piggybacking off your network to send updates to other users.

I hate it just because they keep hiding most important and convenient configuration tools, it's even worse than in win10 - device manager, network interfaces, power management etc.

It's LAN-only by default (and turned off completely by default as well). You have to be a special kind of retarded (see: linux user) to turn on the internet selection.

Anyone who thinks windows 11 has never used it, or cares about privacy even though no one has ever cared about them in their insignificant life ever.

The idea that privacy is important and should not be invaded by corporations and governments is valid and worth defending.
The idea that said corporations and government agencies will spend billions of dollars just to keep track of the kind of porn random NEETs jerk off to is retarded and deserves to be mocked.
Unfortunately, too many on this board conflate both.

they keep hiding most important and convenient configuration tools

open start menu

type "device manager"

If this constitutes "hiding" to you, I don't you're qualified to be using a computer at all.

i'm just here to check how often linux is mentioned.
i haven't used windows in years, would never even dream of going back, sooner buy a mac

These options are good, particularly the 2nd one.

The problems with W11 I've found to be hugely overblown to non-existent. I use explorerpatcher though because I don't like the default UI.

you lost
