Possibly Unpopular Opinion:

I recently upgraded my new ThinkPad from 10 to 11, and I think the new UI/UX in 11 is definitely superior. I'm not sure why so many people dislike it.

@voltronic I like Win 11 but I don't like the recent push for AI assistance in the latest few test patch releases. If I can disable them, I will, I know how to operate my system without AI guidance. LOL

@PaganMother
I've only seen that in Edge, which I only used a couple times to download browsers I actually want to use.

@voltronic My issue was not knowing if all my old programs would run on the new OS. We've had all sorts of problems at work with the new machines not wanting to talk to the OTHER computers on the network, esp since we have a mixed Mac/PC network.

Also found out that after the upgrade, if my computer was running a screen saver, I couldn't get Remote Desktop to fully connect. Had to disable the saver.

Going to try with the screen sleeping instead. Don't like to leave it on all the time.

@kismatt
That might have had something to do with the power profile you had set. One of the things that can disabled on power saving profiles is network devices.

@voltronic I'll check it. I know that I can connect to the machine if the saver is not running, but gives me a grey screen if it is. I know it's still available because I can connect to the *drives* attached to it (that have been previously mapped), and to my Calibre library running on it even with the grey CRD screen.

It's maddening lol

@voltronic, I suspect there have been many patches, hot fixes, and updates to make it more functional with other work flows. Also, some folks get confused when things get moved or widgets look different or preferred settings need to be reset. I deal with that on a small scale at work.
