3,850ghz would make a nice CPU though... you could probably roast a chicken on it.
Windows 11: how's it going?
- Thread starter Tyres O'Flaherty
- Start date
So … is that a yes … ?Who would still use that? The new Windows Terminal is much better and integrates CMD.EXE along with Powershell, Azure, Heroku, WSL and whatever you like, all in one place. I use it to administer my Linux servers and the Pi stack via SSH, and it has not only anti-aliased font rendering and a much more modern look, but a plethora of options that are really useful. For Windows 10, it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft Store, it's an official app. Never used anything else since.
O7,

Hardly. See, I had the Windows vs. Linux vs. OS/2 discussions 30 years ago and they tired me even then. For I worked on true Unix systems at the time, not a wannabe derivate like Linux (0.9 it was, I think), and remember what Tanenbaum said about it and why MINIX's microkernel approach was the future. The DOS window simply emulated an EGA/CGA screen and kept that behaviour compatible over times. The Windows Terminal console, though, is a different thing today, and that's just what I said. I could well ask if you still open your image files via a 'Visual Schnauzer', but I won't. Look it up

Hi All 
Just checked my CPU.....Core i5-3570K.....guess I won't be upgrading to Windows 11 ?

Nope, iirc you need a series 8000 cpu
Micro$oft are going to alienate a lot of people from Win11. Good job it's optional.
Yeah, i say that about beer.

It's no great shakes anyways, performance is no better or worse in my experience.
A shell can be very effective when doing some tasks as sys admin, but I remember the first time I put a cd into a Unix machine (SGI Onyx) and just sat there waiting for an icon to show up on the desktop, like it did on the Mac. Man was I wrong! I also remember being told the syntax to do that. That made good old LOAD "*",8,1 kind of trivial. And it was completely unnecessary unless you just wanted to brag about being able to "mount a CD on an Onyx".Hardly.

O7,
Regarding ED and Win11, I installed ED yesterday, and it ran "just fine" at ~44 fps, no matter what settings I used. That is sitting in the ship inside a station. Didn't bother trying to land on a planet. Just went back to one of the other games I play in VR waiting for Fdev to sort it out, if ever.
My system is not allowed to run Windows 11, but can still run all I throw at it in 4k. So I'm not buying a new mainboard, CPU and RAM just to run a new OS. Windows 10 will be supported until 2025. By then I might buy a new PC anyway. Windows 11 can wait until then.
Well, people will alienate themselves.
W11 is not that nice to switch to it at launch nor in the near future - my laptop is compatible, but i wont upgrade anytime soon... not unless i find a serious reason to do so
Hi
Sigh!....It's quite obvious that Microsoft work hand in glove with some main hardware manufacturers as well as it's own sales programs and hardware suppliers to keep sales going.
Bring out a new 'upgraded' OS that 'needs' new hardware to run 'properly'....what a surprise.
Still...I suppose that at some point new hardware might bring about a more speedy interface with various programs/apps, games etc. but does it?
Have programmers, especially game programmers taken advantage of all the new current hardware features to run their games with perhaps more involved graphics and game content?
Don't mind me too much
, I've become a cynic and pessimist with my personal opinion of the whole computer (commercial and leisure) industry at the moment.

i started messing with 11 about 6 months ago. preview was not stable. i however never ran into any issues.
not really played EDO that much, worked as expected in the little running time it received.
now running win 11 after updating my OS,
cons. taskbar is fixed to screen bottom.
boots slower than 10.
not noticed any fps drop.
new learning curve. MS decided to add another layer so a lot of things are hidden.

I've been running W11 since it released for Insiders, and ED has been just as stable (and all the various tools/plugins I use). Just my two cents.
EDIT: haven't noticed any FPS drops or anything, still running at 100+fps @1440p with a Ryzen 7 2700 and RTX 2060 Super. Feels nice to be able to play a beautiful yet non graphically-demanding game at decent settings + high FPS. BTW this is Horizons, not Odyssey.

First Windows 11 Patch Tuesday Makes Ryzen L3 Cache Latency Worse, AMD Puts Out Fix Dates
Microsoft on October 12 put out the first Cumulative Updates for the new Windows 11 operating system, since its October 5 release. The company's monthly update packages for Windows are unofficially dubbed "patch Tuesday" updates, as they're scheduled to come out on the second Tuesday of each...
Initial patches didn't help the AMD issues, but next week's should resolve them.
Are there Ryzen users amongst us who can confirm this L2 cache bug is affecting them?
VR Player here, i noticed even a slight increase of performance under Win11 (I7 9700K, 32GB, RTX3070ti, Quest 1 connected via virtual desktop). Pretty happy with that.
I'm seeing reports of more cracks appearing in the press. Now there's a printing issue as well as a mem leak in file explorer. Hmm.
The L2 cache bug fix is incoming soon ™ though.
