Windows 11
Yesterday and today I upgraded my Windows 10 laptop to Windows 11. I started the upgrade yesterday at 11:30 AM and it was still downloading and installing when I went to bed last night at 9:30 PM. 3 more hours this morning of installing and I finally got the computer to operate about 1 hour ago. Desktop looks the same. Very few visible changes.A lot of time for a little nothing.

MS have just asked Apple to supply them with some software engineers to solve teething problems in Win 11, as they are unable to fix it themselves.
My name was not shown in this pic..
You had something like that under XP with a KVM switch.
Normally, I always had at least 2 machines running at one time.
Sounds like there's an awful lot of code running in the background that makes me wonder what it's doing and who is benefitting.
Can't answer your Win11 size question, but sometimes, if you set your connection to "metered" you can cut down on the automatic "upgrades."
I recall the first time I bought a laptop with VISTA installed and was pleased to see nothing but a waiting icon most of the time the machine was one.
"Downgrading" the machine to XP until Win7 could be loaded turned it into a zippy machine.
GAH!
It's free and doesn't need security software, what's not to like.
Downsides, may not be suitable for people who use a particular (windows based) program, for that I keep an old machine running an old version of windows which I never use on the net. As mentioned above it's maintained by nerds who love to make things more complex than they need to be, so can take a few minutes search to find an easy solution for what you want it to do. From time to time you're offered a new kernel (heart of the system), the folder they're contained in is quite small, so the only maintenance you need to do is delete the old (unused) kernels before updating to a new one, it holds about 6 old ones so no chance of deleting something you actually need.
There are some advantages to Linux and you described a lot of them. I offered up Mint as the one which, from within the Linux universe, seems to resemble Windows in its layout and most easily adopted, compared to many other distros.
I've left out the Ubuntu / Debian distinction, along woth FreeBSD, and that dizxying array of subchoices.
Perhaps your discussion might inspire a blog on that topic, useful to many.
Keep watching the main web site @ Apple
As we previously detailed, here’s what we know about the upcoming Mac mini:
Bloomberg has reported that that the new Mac mini will feature specs identical to the new MacBook Pro with up to 64GB RAM, 10-core CPU, and 16 or 32 graphics cores.
Meanwhile, leaker Jon Prosser has reported that Apple’s M1X-powered Mac mini will also introduce a new generation of industrial design. The new Mac mini is said to feature a redesigned external chassis with a reflective “plexiglass-like” material on top paired with an aluminum enclosure.
Prosser has also claimed that the new Mac mini will feature additional ports compared to the current M1-powered Mac mini, including four Thunderbolt 3, two USB-A ports, ethernet, and HDMI. The Mac mini might also use the magnetic power connector that Apple first introduced with the 24-inch iMac earlier this year.
So where would this new Mac mini fit in Apple’s lineup? Currently, Apple sells an M1-powered Mac mini as its entry-level option alongside a higher-end model that is still powered by Intel. It is expected that this M1X-powered Mac mini will replace the Intel model and be sold alongside the M1X configuration.
My 2014 Mini will upgrade on Monday to Mac OS Monterey?
Paid $ 499.
almost went for the 2018 model @ 699.
Scratched my head real hard at the 2020 model for 799.
This new Mac mini should be cheaper than an iMac
no price yet but wold bet under 1 grand
turned my wifi off to show you with out IP address and name lower image
My 2014 Mac mini is faster then my iPhone 12 pro on 5g network and will update on Monday..
I will lose that bet under 1000
I followed Robs link not the US Apple store I think the Mac Mini 2020 model is dow from 799. and is the M1 supercharged
Still my store is 699.00
4:20 am smoke it If you have
Many apps failed to work especially torrent software.
Apparently, so many software engineers are on loan to MS to fix Win 11 they have had to postpone Monterey Betas and only developers are able to run it.
But Watch OS 8.3 is amazing
