This setup is a bit of a trial and error process from our side. You can place the start menu on the left side. I’m not concerned about WSL since I prefer Linux. It’s more about personal preference, but I find the PowerShell syntax a bit awkward. What I need is OS-independent code, so Python fits well as it’s already part of our build. I’ve been using Linux on my non-gaming PC for six years, running a home server for 14, and a mix of Windows and Linux at work for similar periods. Switching feels like a big change. The only reason my gaming rig stays on Windows is because of the inertia—Valve’s Proton now works well enough for me.
The decision hinges on the specific scenario. Adobe photo tools aren't available on Linux, which is a major concern for me. I tend to wait until situations stabilize before making changes. Last year, all three computers got updated to Windows 11 smoothly, without any problems. Now, two of them are running 24H2 and still function perfectly after the latest release.
Win 11 functions adequately but shows several noticeable UI problems. It appears to have unexpected behavior, such as automatic setting changes and unclear energy-saving features. Why can't I adjust screen brightness? The slider remains hidden, and the special keyboard shortcuts aren't functional except for brightness control via Nvidia Control Panel. Navigating to "more options" in the right-click menu is necessary for an AV scan. The only positive aspect is that PAINT 3D remains operational. Overall, this version doesn’t hold up compared to Win 10, and I’m seriously thinking about upgrading to Win 10 instead.
Have you experimented with adjusting your screen brightness? . The truth is, I often question why so few people use most features in Windows. I might encounter thousands of problems with Windows 11, maybe even more with Windows 10, but it would definitely be *even better* for Windows 11.
I work extensively with photo editing and need a properly calibrated monitor. I use a NEC Multisync display that’s set up with Spectraview II software. I’m in a home office where I can adjust the room lighting. My brightness is at 120 cd/m², which seems to be less than what many gamers experience.
