Windows 11 issues
I recently switched from Devuan Linux to W11 due to niche software requirements that Linux has no equivalent for (drivers for health care equipment). But there are fixes for W11's most annoying issues:
* My Dell Optiplex 7040 is running an older CPU that W11 doesn't officially support. On another W10 box, I burned a bootable USB key using Rufus which allows you to slipstream fixes to W11 to ignore the processor, TPM, and memory requirements and allow you to create a local account bypassing the "online account" requirement. Of course, M$ could break this at any time, but it's worked so far.
* I used O&O Software's ShutUp10++ and AppBuster software to curb M$'s appetite for telemetry and bloatware.
* If you don't like the task bar centered, right-click on the taskbar, select "Taskbar Setttings" -> Taskbar Behaviors -> Taskbar Alignment, then choose your preference of location.
I still prefer Linux but since I have to run Windows, I took a modicum of time, did a little Web searching, and found answers to my questions. So far, so good. Linux still has much better performance than W11 but for my simple needs these days, I don't notice it much. I would switch back to Linux in a heartbeat if I could but since I can't, I'm trying to make the best of it.
