Using windows 11 got me to switch my home PC to Linux at the start of the year so I have them to thank or that. My work PC just got updated from W10 to W11 and so far it's so much worse than I was expecting, purely based on performance/buginess alone. I have no problems with most the features but it all feels one step forward two steps back when the whole system seems to be much less responsive
What I don't understand about Windows 11 is why they can't seem to fix the weird delay that now exists across the entire UI.
Right click, weird delay, menu shows up.
Press the Start button, weird delay, menu shows up.
Open Explorer, weird delay, program shows up.
Enter text in the search field, weird delay, results show up.
Windows 10 didn't have that delay.
I read a long time ago that delays had to be added to desktop UIs because users didn't think the computer was "working" if it responded in a single video frame. Maybe the M$ LLM read that too and took it to heart.
