Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.

    it really improved wsl integration

    also it’s kinda mandatory if you have a recent cpu, to utilize the p-core/e-core architecture.

            Instead of “Windows Subsystem for Linux” it’s “Windows Software on Linux.” We should rename WINE for lulz.

          I figured tbh. I was being snarky and reminding that Linux is the real alternative to Win 11, not Win 10

      I still can’t use WSL 2.0 because of the abysmal filesystem performance compared to 1.0. As far as I can tell this is a fundamental flaw with the design, not a bug that can/will be fixed.

      I ain’t switching until they implement vertical toolbars. I don’t want to use a fucking 3rd party tool, it’s SO EASY in 10, idk why the fuck they just don’t want implement it.

      “Not many people used it” so fucking what, I bet not many people used the default apps in 10 and now we have expanded functionality with the “suggested apps”. Bastards.
