I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.
When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.
Rant over.
This is why I insisted to not have two monitors on my work desk. I don’t use it because it introduces so much more problems.
1 out of many problems less I have to worry about on Win11.
Btw., virtual desktop switching on Win11 is very slow. It needs time to register an then finally starts a stuttering transistion to the next desktop. This laptop has a 3 year old i7 in it. Switching virtual desktops on Gnome would run very smooth and responsive on it. I tested it even with VirtualBox with that Win11 as a host OS and GPU acceleration enabled: smoother! Only minor lags.
Oh yeah, I have noticed that the virtual desktop switching on windows 11 sucks. It’s extra shitty if you set a different wallpaper for each one.
I am glad that I’ve set only a solid color. <_<
