While everyone and their cousins has something to say (good or bad) about Windows 11, what is really important is what works and what doesn't work in the changed operating system as far as applications, games, etc.  So far, I have run into exactly nothing that doesn't work in Windows 11 - despite having to use an unsupported method of getting it onto my desktop (for now).  When I said nothing broke, I mean exactly that - not one  single solitary application or game has failed to work,

 

Regardless of how you got it onto your PCs, what are the reports from the rest of you?

For the moment there is one W11 thing broke: for users of motherboards with the newest Realtek ALC4080 sound chips, the current drivers do not support the DTS Sound Unbound and Sonic Radar 3 - Sonic Studio 3 apps which work fine under W10. While standard USB audio works fine and will supply surround sound using the spdif output, headphone and headset wearers may not get the same sound as under W10. Its not clear whether this is an MS or Realtek problem, but the drivers do install properly under W10 but not W11.

Realtek Audio onboard ASUS Maximus Motherboard is having issues with Windows 11. Works fine after reboot but then it starts getting really buggy and going out after an hour or two. Realtek Audio Driver  version 6.0.8960.1. It could be (and probably is) a problem with SONIC STUDIO 3

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
