I love how easy windows 11 makes it to install linux.
Why?..Microshit doesn't run the Linux world nor does it support it.
That's like saying you love how Nancy PILLosi can help you find Ron Paul links..
See...makes absolutely no sense
@@motoryzen it is a joke, just like how the only use most people have for edge is to install chrome.
Just like Microshit Edge only purpose was to download Chrome now you can actually install a good OS from windows
@@MegaLokopo hello there i'm a programmer thinking of switching to linux, what do i need to know in order to use linux?
@@MegaLokopo Not many people know Edge is using Chromium which means it's Chrome under the hood.
Regarding the open command prompt from any specific folder:
In W10 all you had to do for the same result was to go to a specific folder and type 'cmd' in the address bar. I can't remember if it was already like that in W7 but it was already quite practical. The addition in the contextual menu is nice though. A launch as admin would be even better.
I never knew that. I just tested it out and it works exactly how you said. Very useful. Thanks.
@@CyberCPU I actually saw in the comments of this video that pressing shift+right click did the trick as well. So many hidden stuff 😃.
Another thing on W11 vs W10 : in W10 you could launch task manager by right clicking on task bar. In W11 you can't anymore. Though it's still accessible by right clicking on the start menu button.
Why do they change that kind of thing is a mystery to me...
@@6Saturn9 oh we responded at the same time ^^! So the shift + right click is for PowerShell but not CMD ?
Shift right click on a folder in file explorer and select “open PowerShell window here” was in Windows 10. I thought there was a was to pick if cmd or powershell opened also but that may have only been for the right click start menu?
@@etienne1062 Easiest way to launch Task Manager is by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc. In Windows 10, you can also launch Task Manager by right-clicking the Start button. (Not sure if they kept that in Windows 11.)
In Windows 7 and onward you could open a terminal window in the current Explorer folder, but you need to shift-right-click to see the option. It's good that they've improved this as you cannot expect users to shift-click on a modern OS from various types of devices and controllers.
OMG Thank you very much!!
lol I do it all the time i personalised those tab to get fast acces to some software tool or functions xD
but yes its true You need to know it xD
Hi.
Just one tip:
The feature of opening a Windows Command (CMD) on every windows explorer folder, is also available in Windows 10. If you type "cmd" in the folder address bar (replacing all the path) it opens the windows command prompt in that folder. It is not Powershell but it is also a very good feature.
regards
fyi keyboard navigation for it is [ALT] > [F] > [S] > [A] (powershell as admin) also from powershell terminal you can type cmd to change it to a command prompt
Came here to point this out too... amazed he didn't know!!!
Windows 7 tool
yoooo, tysm
In Windows 10, you can also open the terminal in any folder by right clicking while holding the shift key.
How impressive. All the things you have been able to do in Linux for years have now come to the Windows desktop. Minus the ability to pick and choose the desktop and browser you prefer.
But can you game on linux? Whats that? No? Alright.
@@terraincognitagaming what did I just read
@Linden Reaper >Majority of gaming. Cant even play all the Top 100 games on Steam. Linux is hardly moving.
@Linden Reaper Confirmed clown. Point was: Linux isnt mature enough to play the Top 100 games. If its not mature enough to play those, you know POPULAR games, then its not mature enough for even a fraction of the WHOLE library. Plus 99% of PC users want a smooth experience, not have to use a command prompt to do even the most basic of things.
@@terraincognitagaming Hell, I got all Valve games, Deus Ex and New Vegas on it, don't need much else.
3:45 The Control Panel actually dates back to version 1.0 of Windows from 1985. There was also a Control Panel in OS/2 1.x. It was very similar to the one in Windows 1.0 & 2.0.
I love the new system sounds. The sound when you adjust the Volume, the error sounds, notification sounds ETC are so low pitched and easy on the ears, even if your volume is really loud. I love the new sounds. Should make a sound theme pack for Windows 10
Does that include the one sound that plays over and over, and never stops? Have they fixed that yet?
@@markhorsburgh76 I never had that
Honestly, Windows 10 sounds are not "that" bad but when you reinstall Windows 10 on customer's computers everyday and the sound is at max and reset it at max when the audio drivers installes itself... ew... My ears..
I have been muting the system sounds since the time I used Win98.
One really amazing feature that was unfortunately not in this video is the fact that, by right clicking the "min/max window" button, it pulls up a panel of presets that allows you to rearrange your windows far more effectively and efficiently. Not only that, but changing screen orientation keeps the apps in place, rather than maintaining their orientation and resizing stupidly. Thank you for this unbiased 2 parter, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more Windows 11 content from you in the future!
Also, your daughter is adorable! :)
Actually you only have to hover over it,, no right clicking
Actually, that is the main reason I am considering to upgrade to win11
i do this in windows 10 with windows powertoys fancyzones
Great video!
As far as the features presented... not bad, but the good parts still don't outweigh the bad ones for me, unfortunately. Really hoping they get to fixing those in the near future, would definitely get me more inclined towards getting the upgrade.
He should change the name of the video to "What's meh in Windows 11". What a joke.
They will not be fixing anything. This is how it will be going forward. They have been doing EXACTLY this since windows XP, slowly rolling back every right you have to control your own computer, hiding the options, or outright removing them altogether. There is nothing we can do to change it. Make a windows 10 boot disk/usb NOW and learn to use Linux and hope someone makes a decent Linux release in the future.
His video on all that is bad in Windows 11 seriously outweigh any of the good stuff in it. So I totally agree with you there. I am piecing together a new desktop and will just have it run on Windows 10 until they either get 11 corrected of just com out with an actual running version of Windows 12, because it seems like if they have even numbered versions of Windows they actually run good.
Even with Windows 10 the good doesn't outway the bad, but most of those bad things can be eliminated with 3rd party software.
@@deetrixreed8961 You are wrong, while things have changed over the years they never took took the control away, they were simply modified and hidden out of view of the common user most of the bad things ive noticed in 11 pertain to modernizing windows to be easily usable on a mobile screen, a market they will never gain dominance in as they lack consumer trust
Great video! You convinced me that I don't want windows 11. I guess the only thing that would have convinced me is if they repaired home network. I prefer cable connection to wi-fi, and i want every pc in my home network to just see one another right off. Home sharing and networking is ridiculously hard nowaday.
Thank you for being unbiased. You don't try to make Windows 11 looking good or bad, you just try to pick its major advantages and weaknesses!
@Galaxyy He said at the start they're supposed to be that way. One only has negatives, the other only has positives.
Users: "can we finally have a stable OS with an intelligent UX that fosters productivity and comfort?"
Microsoft: "Best we can do is rounded corners."
Windows is stable and has been since Windows 7 (actually since Windows NT). Do you use Windows on the daily or are you a Mac user who is hanging on to the past?
Opening the Windows terminal in a location was always in Windows 10, and even more discreetly. You just have to press the Shift, and it appears in the context menu...
Yeah that's what I thought. I'm not sure but it's probably in Windows 8 as well
I think they removed that since it's not working. I just looked it up and somebody in 2018 answered "As of the latest Windows 10 update Command Prompt is no longer available in the Extended Right-Click Menu. Instead, you now have Windows Powershell" but they must've also removed/disabled the extended right-click menu, cause when i try it, it's no different. But you can open powershell from the "File" menu of the folder. And what i've always done to open cmd from a folder is just type cmd in the address bar.
Huh, I didn't know this. Thanks for teaching that little bit of information!
@@purplespark8 I remember it as far back as windows 7, not sure if it goes quite as far back as xp.
@@DlcEnergy fyi keyboard navigation for it is [ALT] > [F] > [S] > [A] (powershell as admin) also from powershell terminal you can type cmd to change it to a command prompt
6:30 this feature to my knowledge was available from Windows 10, maybe earlier versions too.
If you hold shift and right click the context menu will create a "open PowerShell window here" option.
Alternatively, if you specifically want the command prompt just typing "cmd" in the address bar will open cmd in the current directory.
Moreover, changing appearance could be done previously. If you click the left side of the program bar (usually where the icon is, opposite side of the close X button) a menu opens, go to properties et viola. Or change them directly through the terminal lol.
All I wanted from the taskbar as far as layout is to have the start button pinned on the left but have the menu variably expanding in the middle. I was able to achieve this with StartAllBack. I was also able to get my BatteryBar working again with this small utility. 😁
Hi. About the amazing feature to open CMD from the any window in the explorer. I’m using this feature a lot and I’m guessing that it’s available since 2017 in Windows 10. You just need to Shift+RightClick for that. You can also get to several other features using that combination: copy folder’s/file’s path into the clipboard, run some program as a different user etc.
It was even in win 7 :)
@@draabuu I had that feeling but wasn't sure. Thanks for pointing :)
You can also type cmd + ENTER in the path field
You could open powershell inside the folder in windows 10... You just have to open the folder and then in click the file menu on top of the explorer and you could open powershell there.
Ok. I'm feeling much better about your Win 11 review after watching this. It does make for a more balanced approach. It was also very informative. I had no idea about the Linux implementation. Nice job. You got a new subscriber.
Now...how about a vid that explains the gaming features in 11, like direct storage, auto HDR, thread director (I know this isn't specific to gaming, but it's kinda cool), etc.
The function that allows you to open the windows explorer folder you are currently in, in command prompt, was doable before windows11. Just go to a specific folder from windows explorer, go to the address bar on the top and write cmd 🙂
Hey nice video! How about the OS improvement? Anything nice there? Like support to new memory, CPU or storage technology?
it has a new scheduler for 12th gen intel and support for ddr5 but that's all I've seen.
wow! This is so amazing, I can't wait to buy new hardware for all these incredibly AMAZING never seen before features... what a time to be alive... the round corners in the UI are my favorite... yeah...🙄
Definitely, they are the roundest round corners I ever saw.
Sir i loved your windows 10 custom iso video..
It helped me a lot.
And one more thing regarding open windows terminal from any folder
There is a hidden menu for it..
Just press shift key on keyboard and then right click mouse button from inside the folder it will show you option "open command prompt here"
Its very usefull i use it all the time
I have Windows Terminal on my Windows 10 PC. As someone who uses CMD and PowerShell often, I LOVE it. I could apparently add more terminal programs into it, like Cygwin.
That aside, most of the features I like from Windows 11 are possible to copy on 10 via 3rd-party tools or tweaks. I currently have no good-enough reason to "upgrade".
Opening up a command line in the path where you have your window open is also possible in older Windows too. (at least in Windows 10)
To do so just click on the path in the window, like you'd want to modify the path manually, and write cmd or pwsh, depending what type of terminal you want to open. The feature is not exactly intuitive, I know...
fyi keyboard navigation for it is [ALT] > [F] > [S] > [A] (powershell as admin) also from powershell terminal you can type cmd to change it to a command prompt
This feature was also available as far back as XP if you installed the powertoys pack from MS.
6:10 This is really awesome. FINALLY!!!!!!! Now, if only we could get an option on it to open said command prompt as administrator or as another user. That may seem like an odd request, but if you're a server admin in an environment where you have to constantly escalate to admin to run certain commands or operating on files in protected folders, you know all too well how much of a PITA it is to have to click start, open a cmd as administrator, then manually navigate to that protected folder.
Maybe we'll get that feature in Windows 13
Windows seriously needs an equivalent of su. There is a way to run commands as an escalated user like sudo but it's convoluted and I have to Google how to do it every time I need it. Simply having an su command would be amazing.
@@CyberCPU I'm guessing you're referring to Microsoft JEA?
@@idontneedthis66 no, I'm talking about the runas command. You would use it like this.
Runas /user:administrator {the command you want to run}
Yes, I had to Google it. 😂😂
This will run a command from a standard command prompt with elevated permissions.
@@CyberCPU Oh damn, that's awesome! I never knew about that, thanks for the tip!
Fun fact, in windows 10, if you open file explorer, go to a file and write "cmd" on the path at the top, you'll open the command prompt already CD'd to that file. Same with powershell.
I loved the ending with your little one asking to subscribe. Great job dad.
Great video - I hope they properly integrate WSL GUI apps with the Windows desktop so you can snap them etc.
Would be a nice QOL improvement
according to this the best things about Windows 11 are either subjective "it looks better" (I personally think the aesthetics are rubbish) or that it runs linux, which is a whole different operating system. So basically windows itself has no real changes for the better, on the contrary it removed functionality and customization but requires more resources to run. This has been one of the worst releases of a new windows version imo. They could have added new functionality or made it run more efficiently and catered to the things we love about windows that differentiate it from other OSs. Instead they tried to make it more like mac OS, removed functionality and customization and thrown in Linux for good measure. It's a pathetic effort and stepping in the wrong direction. If this was a rushed attempt to stop their diminishing user base and fend off the competition then they just shot themselves in the foot. They're basically telling their user base that they're better off with Mac Os or Linux.
👌👌👌
I like the WSL additions; I'll really use those (there are several OSS packages which didn't have great windows distributions, but would be nice to try). I tried GUI programs in the old WSL and it was really complex and essentially unworkable IMHO. Some of the other really minor feature enhancements - like the slightly less terrible settings interface are also steps in the right direction. Both of these features incidentally weren't new, they're just a somewhat improved.
But these steps have absolutely nothing to do with the overall poor direction - the absurd hardware requirements, the anti-user addition of a bunch of clicks and removal of means to avoid those clicks.
I even kind of understand the motivation behind the context menu changes in explorer, but boy, this was the wrong solution. What a terrible version!
The one good thing about it is the idiotic hardware requirement. Why is that good? Well, at least that'll protect a bunch of users from using this version; and it'll ensure critical mass on the old version 10 for much longer, leaving it better supported by software publishers.
TBH, it looks like Microsoft is repeating history with their OS releases. I've been working professionally in IT since Windows 3.14 in massive network structure (universities and gov't departments). Omitting Win NT and 2000 see if you can see the pattern: Win 95, 98, 98SE, ME, XP, Vista, 7,8,10...11. Notice that 98, ME, Vista and 8 were all HATED OS versions? Notice where 11 falls into the pattern? I'm not holding my breath for 11 being a success for users to fall in love with or for technicians to want to deploy.
I can already see dozens of things within Windows 11 that are miserable. From both a user and a technicians POV I'm already looking forward to Windows 12.
Btw you can use this same terminal and WSL on w10 also. Nothing new on w11.
For the majority of the users, not much has changed outside looks.
Business and programmers, lots of things has changed.
But it's early. Windows 10 from Windows 7 didn't feel like much changed either. Most people were forced towards it due to DirectX12 requirements.
I am going to upgrade just to stay with the times.
I've been using Win7 since it was new and have become highly efficient using it. I don't see any significant advantage using Win11. It seems as if they've, once again, moved everything around so it is difficult to find and made available linkage to Linux which is useful only if you are a Linux user. For the very few people who want to indulge in Linux it is easy enough to download a version and use dual boot to bring it up. Switching back and forth is not a significant improvement. Using Mint as a Linux GUI is probably much easier for Windows users.
However you are not going to get the high level of integration with the Windows file system. There are times when this has really come in handy for me.
Agreed. Discrimination against the elderly every time (seriously, this is still an unrecognised major problem with look and feel updates that give no improvement in efficiency to the average user). Utter waste of society's resource.
The best feature for me is the window arrangement feature when you hover over the maximise/restore button. The pre-sets will let you layout multiple windows on your screen perfectly :)
I had no idea about windows terminal and being able to install Linux! Great tip!
It's funny how we had all of these in Linux for decades.
I have to say though, Microsoft really did an amazing job with the UI here, we really need to step up the polish of Linux desktops if we want to compete...
Microsoft is an expert into introducing innovations that have been in the market for decades. Remember ICQ and MSN, all "new" features that MSN was incorporating were already there in ICQ before MSN even existed
to bad using Linux is such a pain in the ass, cant even make a desktop icon with out a ton of BS, and OS treats me like a child when it comes to file/folder access. Also a pain that Linux does not really install its programs in a friendly manner, files are all over the place
Rounded corners, multiple desktops, terminal tabs ... yeah, it feels much like Linux now.
whats a phase tarball
Until they fix the taskbar and fix Windows Explorer and fix all that extra overclicking I don't care what's great about Windows 11.
The center win button is awsome. I have 49" super ultrawide and now it just fits :)
I agree 100% about using Control Panel. Whenever I complete fresh Windows installation, I put a shortcut to it on my desktop. That's along with only User files, Computer, Network, and Recycle Bin. Control Panel is that important to me.
I couldn't imagine having a computer without all of those shortcuts on the desktop. I think Microsoft's motto must be, "If it ain't broke, we can fix that."
In general, I always enjoyed Windows, but the Windows 11 start menu is an insult that is impossible to forgive.
If Linux was able to run all my software as effortlessly as Windows does, then Windows 10 would be my last Windows installation.
Absolutely. it's a deal killer.
You can open a cmd window in any folder on windows 10. Just navigate to whichever folder you want, click the top bar where the path is and replace everything with the word "cmd" then hit enter and boom, a cmd window will appear with the path of the current opened folder. In windows 11 is just easier but it's not a new feature... 😉
good to know! The ability to open Terminal via right click was available in Linux since forever, never noticed it missing in Windows since I didn't need it there that often. (Git bash for the win!)
if you use conemu, a far superior command prompt than windows terminal, you can integrate it into the explorer context menu, or even start a console right inside the explorer window itself.
Thanks for what is positive, like the way you did this review. I love some of the new features and abilities.
I heard somewhere that Linux on windows is a security issue, but that was ver. 10
5:30 yes. Windows 98 did use the Windows terminal to control certain less user-friendly aspects of their computer. But as hardware like video and sound cards became standardized the proprietary software became Direct X API files it was unnecessary for users to have low-level hardware access because it could be done more safely through the API programs. Viruses or other malicious instructions could not execute through the API software layer. At least in theory. The criminals immediately began looking for loopholes.. This was a major reason why XP was so stable. They tried to make it too safe in Vista but got it a lot more stable under Windows 7.
Still can't forgive them for the goofy stuff with the default browser and hardware requirements...but these are some cool features... love the Linux subsystem and GUI app launch! There will be a cleaner script updated for Win 11 to fix many of the annoyances (sans the hardware issue). Lol- you Rick Rolled us!
And that cleaner script or what it does will be nuked when the next medium or accumulative update gets inevitably installed.
Why?
Because like telemetry...the damn winturd updates engine is BUILT into the kernel and there is no stopping that if you use a PCA booted up into windows AND connected online.
You're wasting your time in the end.
Also..why run a gimped version of Linux within Windows?
That's like claiming you support your individual freedoms and the right to choose what goes into your own body...yet you keep voting demonrat or resnublican...get real and.get a clue.
If you're going to run Linux....don't half ass it and don't run it within an incompetent and hypocritical Nazi like software company
Yep. Windows is starting to look a lot like Linux Mint. :) Switched to Linux years ago. As long as Microsoft can look through my files, install or uninstall programs at will, and continue to make my computer check in with them 9000 times a day I'll never go back. Good video though!
Eeeh I don't think so.
Microshit copied pieces of kde and gnome desktops...not xfce, mate, or cinnamon
The terminal and Linux support is simply somewhere else. Very glad they added that.
BTW Love your shirt. Just perfect for an IT guy.
6:28 you can open a terminal from Windows explorer on previous Windows versions, just type CMD over the path text box in the file explorer, this is gonna open a CMD terminal over the file explorer path you are navigating.
if it's your first computer ever, windows 11 is probably 100 timer easier to use than xp or 10, but less features don't came with lower price unfortunately. looks like a starter edition like 7 had.
If it's your first computer is that you've ever used..it is impossible to have room to make a comparison opinion versus other versions or os's... duh
My main fav is the round edges. Not much of a big deal but it looks SO much cleaner
You can’t find the Start button blindly anymore. And it shifts to the left the more applications are open. Awesome improvement.
About being able to open cmd in folder with the right-click, at least since Win10 you can type cmd or powershell in address-bar inside any folder and it will open cmd or PS for that folder.
You can also type in bash if you have WSL configured, and it will open a Linux terminal window in that path. This works in both W10 and W11.
Some of the "cool brand new genius features" in Windows 11 are basically them bringing back up old features.
I don't remember if Windows 98 did this, but in Windows XP you used to be able to do ctrl+right click or something to pull up "Open Command Prompt Here". Now I must say, it is REAL nice having it embedded by default, without an additional button press or regkey edit. And the Windows Terminal is easily my absolute favorite new feature. I've already almost used it to replace PuTTY. Like, it's amazing having it all unified and customizable. Command? Done. PowerShell? New tab. SSH into server? Right there. Python/Node/Ubuntu terminal? One click away.
The "Acrylic" theme is pretty old. Windows XP used to have this with WindowBlinds and StyleXP, and it was the Aero theme in Vista and 7. 8 and 10 are the first to go without it. I'm not sure if you've mentioned it in this video yet since I'm still watching. But it seems like a lot of other reviewers have short term memory loss, or at least it feels like some weird Mandela effect when people are like "Look at this TOTALLY NEW NOT DONE BEFORE feature!" That we had a decade and a half ago.
And I SWEAR the rounded corners feature is a joke. Specifically pushed by Samsung and at Apple's expense for certain corner-related lawsuits that were an insult to the entire industry. People are so excited about those corners and it seems oddly disproportionate. Maybe that's just me, since I did this with StyleXP in the early 2000's.
It's cool to see these things native though. Especially more docking zones. PowerToys was always so unreliable with this feature.
Yes, a lot of these so called computer experts aren't very experienced at all.
You can also SHIFT + Right Click to open Powershell in I think every version. It certaintly works in win10.
Would be awesome if they added the same functionality to run Android apps & games without the use of an emulator like Bluestacks etc.
Android doesn't even run Android apps without an emulator. 😂😂
Android is Linux with a Java interpreter on top.
they have a subsystem for android but it is still in beta. I'm also waiting for that one.
Thank u sir , huge fan of you ,your videos always so helpful and your explain is better than anyone
Wow, I've not seen block out in nearly 30 years. I used to play it back in the early 90s on my parents PC and totally forgot about it. This video just gave me a massive flashback...
Having now watched both videos I understand now.
Win11 is good for specialist, for people who like the technical ability and control.
But its comparatively worse for the average consumer who doesnt care about all the extra technical abilities.
no no no ,with all due respect...that is wrong,there is nothing new in Win11 for a specialist to like,
I have no idea how you came up with what you wrote, it is most likely the other way around...
good...cute and good looking...for the average consumer who is only gonna surf the web and play some games.
worse for the specialist because he has to learn the new...
idiosyncrasies of a "new" OS...WITHOUT actually gaining anything new.
and where did you really see the "extra technical abilities" of Win11 on this video? WHERE? :-)
what he says is good in Win11 in this video...here:
1 the UI (rounded corners-animations etc) pointless.
2 the settings layout-says the control panel still is better, I agree.
3 multiple desktops-that is something almost all OS have.
4 open windows terminal on current folder -seriously?
this feature is present in windows 8 too (Windows Console+power-shell)
and actually in most windows versions.
"looks matter if you like to be a lot more productive" :-O facepalm!
the more tabs on powershell and terminal...ok that is good ;-)
5 windows subsystem for linux-?
you can have that in win10 too,
and "specialists" cut out the middle man...they go and use linux! ;-)
you shill...
As a laptop user, one thing I like about Windows 11, is the animation when you connect to an external monitor. No need to guess if the monitor is detected by the system, as sometimes we get cable problems or connection problems.
To add, the settings for display (pc monitor, duplicate, extend, second screen) is no longer the huge tab that eats the right portion of the screen, and is now a small window at the lower right which I really like. The huge tab is unneccesary.
P.S. We got rickrolled lol.
Big thank you for that new video! Can you tell us a word about performances of Win11 vs Win10? e.g. for games? Thx
I already did. Look at my older videos.
@@CyberCPU My bad! Thanks!👍
the terminal thing has been around for some time. at least in w10, if you shift+right click in the white spce, you will get an option for opening a terminal in that folder
Well, if those are the best features, I'm definitely persuaded to stay with Windows 10.
Man, I wish Win 10 was the final version of Windows, as MS promised us initially. Why do we need to change Windows every couple of years? It's so annoying... A lot could've been done with just regular updates. Win 7 works perfectly fine, runs the same exact programs + is much more lightweight and beautiful. No malware if you install the proper antivirus that still supports Win 7 (Kaspersky or Avast, for example). What's the point? Computers are made for work and running programs (and рогп of course), I could care less about all these fancy bells and whistles. Why don't they just leave us alone and let us use our favorite time-proven OS's, god damn it...
WSL2 + Terminal + V.Code has been my goto dev environment on Windows 10 for quite a while and works well for most things. Especially as you’re not limited to a single Linux installation. With Linux gui apps not supported until WSLg and the CPU limitations on W11 I’ve had to keep a dual boot setup though. So close but just not quite there yet!
So much information i love it i join this channel recently and I'm glad i join there is so much info 😃
Mad lad rickrolls us on Linux near the end of his video. Well played, Rich. *tips hat*
6:13 I love that you can do Open in Terminal in Windows 11 now. This is a feature that is very important in many Linux distributions with don't have GUI for running .sh install scripts.
Thank You sssooooo much for showing us WSL in Win11! I have been using WSL 2 in Win10 with sound (lots of finagling) and it's been Ok... Wasn't sure about the Win11 version. Good to know.
Why Do you Have to Overload me with this Cuteness in the end, now I have to Subscribe...
Like the hack/glitch at the end by the girl!
Ya, everything you said seems pretty awesome!
I'm very glad I found your channel sir!
1 minute in and you somehow managed to convince me to watch the other video first. Well done, sir.
Hey bud, i have a question, you think if i clean install windows 11 on my main drive, it will interfere with my other drives already installed ?
You can open the cmd on Windows 7 (? Don’t know if vista) and onwards if you either type cmd on the directory path bar, or hold shift when right clicking
It’s a nice feature to have it without doing either, but it was always there just hidden
i love windows terminal, i put retro terminal, black bg/green text + vcr mono font
called the profile hackerman, it actually looks nice
You can also open terminal on windows 10 in any folder by holding down shift then right click.
Hey CyberCPU Tech, can we run an application server(Let's say Tomcat based application) in linux terminal? Curious about this as Linux system is really fast when it comes to application server.
Ey! Been waiting to hear this for a week now
edit
eh, not upgrading, the looks are great but the cons for me outweigh the pros
not planning to try linux and also not a power-user enough to use commands
8:34 is when the Sarcasm kicks into high gear and the chuckles start falling out of you. Over 8 minutes for the satire to reach saturation point! 😂😂😂 Nicely done lads! Well said!
Hi there :)
Actually the part with opening Windows terminal from any directory is available in Windows 10. Or is it just me having it?
one problem with the start menu is that when you play old games that dont have modern resolutions (i.e Diablo 2), the start menu is getting scaled to the game's resolution and is not showing properly even after you close the game. at that point you need to restart windows explorer from task manager
wow, i remember block out from when i had an Amiga 500
Ha! Placed my earlier comment in the wrong spot. Moved here. Just saying I dig your channel and you've attracted a good crowd. They show up with info that compliments nicely.
Multiple desktops have been in X11 for decades and Mac OS X for many years; is nice that is finally became a usable feature in Windows 11.
The WSL looks much more complete, which is excellent :-D
The ability to open a command prompt or a powershell prompt from the Windows Explorer was there before - you just had to press the Shift key and right click the empty space in that folder.
Windows 10 can also open a powershell window from File Explorer at the current folder. File | Open Windows PowerShell. I have been doing it for years.
Opening a terminal in your current folder can also be done in older windows versions by just typing cmd in the path area and pressing enter!
When I saw the start button was moved to the center, it reminded me of the "11" discussion in Spinal Tap, "These go to 11"; "This button's in the middle".
Watched both pros and conns videos...so, is it worth updating to 11?
I'm a stubborn Win 7 user, and only tried wind10 for a short time...However, After installing Win11 and doing the necessary de-bloating, I found it way faster in games than winx, and that's on my 9yr old laptop. Sure, it's a bit different, but so is Linux..And yes, I like it a lot.
Your (deleted) video was the final push I needed, wasn't so difficult to find the regedit on the web. So, from Win7 and Linux straight to Win11. I'm keeping my old systems on their respective SSD's though. Keep up the good work, you got a new subs. 👍
I have both Windows 10 and Windows 11 on my computer, both optimized and I see no difference at all in speed. They both bench out the same. If it does for you, great!
@@delliottq I guess it depends what hardware you're using..I'm in the process of building a new system to accommodate UE5, and on that there's little to no difference between 10 and 11.. Also the question of which version of winx, in my case it was AMC 2004 ..but whatever, I particularly like the dark mode in '11.
i do like the fact you did this vid, like yourself i find good and bad but overall i find win 11 a nice experience especially the terminal.
I knew WSL existed but I had no need for Linux on my private machine. But for work this sounds awesome. Is it even possible to do Linux Kernel development with WSL and maybe even cross-compiling for embedded hardware?
Nice info, thanks for sharing it:)
The open in terminal feature is a feature of the new terminal app, rather than windows 11 itself. if you install the new terminal in windows 10 you get the same function.
Open terminal is available in WIN 10 too. U hv to right click with shift key presses to get that option in Win 10.
You can hold the shift key and right click to open powershell in folders with windows 10 already.
you can change the looks of windows command prompt is windows 10 too. including buffer size and other advanced features
Hi! I've purchased a Dell business-level (not home) laptop that I intend to use for development work (primarily SQL Server and its related ecosystem - SSIS, etc-). It comes with Windows 10 Pro and a license for 11. My plan is to NOT upgrade to 11. I want to avoid all the MS bloatware to keep the system lean. Can you recommend a list of steps to follow from unpacking brand new to reach that goal? Maybe a video of yours, a page on the web, etc? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!
That was the most complicated RickRoll I've ever seen. Chapeau! :)
You know what's great also? This video. Appreciate the content, underrated!
Thanks. Appreciate it.
6:05 You can do this in Windows 10 already. If you shift + click. Or if you type cmd in the windows explorer task bar.
How about some chapter marks on the timeline, so we can jump from topic to topic? Most other sites have this feature. Thanks!
Hi love your videos ,i have to get a new laptop as iam on windows 10 and it,s too old 9yrs to upgrade to windows 11 so does this mean i will have to install everything i now have like FB do i have to remember friends and send them all friend request all over a again ?
you can open a terminal window in a directory in win10 too.. Shift+right click.
6:30 in windows 10 you can open powershell from the current directory by shift right clicking in that directory
The open from terminal is pretty neat. I discovered it a while back on Linux and was also shocked it was not more common in Windows.
Actually you can open a terminal in windows 10 the same way if you type cmd (or powershell) where the path is written :))
@@geromatyas9434 actually you can hold shift and right click the folder and dont need to type at all :)
Actually it is seems to be a Windows Terminal feature. I have it installed on W10 and have "Open in Windows Terminal" in the context menu without holding shift.
