Windows 11 is great with some tweaks and has by-far the best HDR implementation of any OS, bar none. I'm getting so sick and tired of people who don't even use it hating on it constantly. Y'all have done this with every new Windows release except 7 and 98SE. Win11 is a great companion to Arch. Get over yourselves already.
Mate, i could not give a shit about hdr. It's a frigging computer
You don't play games or watch movies on your PC? Not even YouTube?
Yeah, and i view it as gaming and watching on a computer.
The number of games that people would notice hdr enough to want it are actually quite small. The entire market is not obsessive gamers
I don't even know what that is. I use Windows 11 at work every day and it fucking sucks. It has been non stop annoyances since I got upgraded from 10. I don't have any problems on my windows 10 pc at home.
High Dynamic Range, tl;dr it's better graphics, but ultimately inconsequential to most users
Thanks. And yeah don't really give a shit about graphics when I'm dealing with constant usability problems. I guess if all you care about is playing video games that would be more of a concern but my eyes are too shitty to appreciate high end graphics anyway.
You seriously don't know what HDR is? Really? Then we have nothing further to discuss.
If you think graphics are the only element of an OS of import, then you need to sit tf down

As if HDR makes all the anti consumer shit okay?
Ah yes, the only thing that matters for gaming is checks clipboard, oh that's right, HDR. Very well said.
I've tried both 10 and 11, though not much for gaming since I mostly only game on Linux these days. On my Windows machine, 11 has issues with my scanner, it has some stupid service that conflicts with my scanner, it's called something like "Windows image acquisition service", I need to stop that service every time I want to scan a document. It's so dumb.
Windows 10 was better than 11.
Linux users: First time?
Truly, it really isn't that bad after about 10 minutes of tweaking. For all complaining I see in the PCMR spaces, you'd think it needed much more. Should it have to be done? Probably not. Am I glad it can be and there's plenty of tools (really only 2 needed) to make it look feel and behave like Win10? Yes. Is the Win10 EoL the same as darling XP's? Also yes, which makes much of this even funnier to me.
