No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's basically identical to Windows 10. Which will be out of support in less than 2 years. So I'd install it if I had a new PC that's supported and Linux wasn't an option for what I need to run.
But there's also not a good reason to upgrade from 10 right now.
It's still possible to install without a Microsoft account, just needs a workaround during installation.
It is not "basically identical"
I couldn't find my windows 10 installer USB so I gave 11 a spin. I've been on it for like 8 months and the past few weeks I've been thinking about going back to 10.
Taskbar sucks now. Gotta install third party software to make it not look like a mac. ExplorerPatcher stopped working for me so I downloaded ViveTool to enable the "feature" of showing labels. But what I can't change is the width...so Steam is a tiny icon and Firefox with an open tab is full length. Also having issues buttons overlapping each other
I use a USB audio interface. Without the software installed I get sound in most programs but no ASIO. With it installed I get ASIO but no sound in media players
Ads. I'm sorry but I don't recall downloading TikTok on my desktop PC, why is it in my star menu?
This is the first year I'm actively considering Linux but there's just way too much software I'm not willing to take a performance hit on (AutoCAD and Ableton as examples)
You can left-align the taskbar and make it black in Windows settings. Those other issues you have might be caused by the third party tools you installed, I never had them. And Windows 10 also came with unwanted apps in the start menu, you probably removed them and are now comparing fresh Windows 11 with customized Windows 10.
Explorer comes with tabs now, that alone was a reason for me to switch.
But yeah, if you have driver issues, go back to Windows 10 until the manufacturer of your audio interface has fixed them.
(I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, only run it for work. Privately, I use Arch, by the way.)
Left aligning is only part of it - I want uncombined labels. An update broke ExplorerPatcher so I use ViveTool to enable the "official" option in Windows ahead of release. I also want the labels to remain a fixed width like it used to which there is no option for. The issue here is 100% with Windows 11's new taskbar
Drivers: it's definitely on the manufacturer but it's still an OS difference. It's the first time since Windows...vista? I've had a driver issue after upgrading so it's worth noting imo
Ads: yeah they popped up when I first installed 10 but they never installed themselves later. I restarted the other day and my start menu was full of mobile apps
