      I’m looking to setup to run Windows on my new laptop for gaming. Is Windows 11 a hot mess these days? What is recommended?

        well the official word is that windows 10 is going end-of-life in october, with no more security patches after then. so, barring some government arm twisting like they did with XP, win11 is about your only option with any shelf life 😞

        really blows, cuz we were hoping 12 would be out by now and we all could be using something more useful like a 10/11 hybrid that 12 is likely to be.

        personally, i still game on win7 cuz win 8/10/11 have too much “phone home to the mothership” bs going on, much like crApple products.

          I run Windows 11 on my work laptop and have no issues running games on it. At least ones that the on board video can support. No issues with Windows itself.

          I’ll agree that there is a fuck ton of telemetry built in. Even disabling it with various tools only really helps until the next major update (H1/H2 cycle).
