Fun fact: the installation doesn't recognize the trackpad. I'm installing using the keyboard only because I'm too lazy to get a mouse.

Also, Windows 11 doesn't come with the Intel drivers for the Wi-Fi 7 Intel BE200, so now I'm hunting down driver files manually so I can continue the installation. At least the trackpad works in this phase, but without any gesture/scrolling support.
We're off to a swell start, everybody.

@thomholwerda it was the best thing in Windows 10 when some 5 years after its release Microsoft managed to finally provide all drivers for my notebook (which originally was delivered with XP...).

@thomholwerda@exquisite.social so, which installation is easier? Windows 11 or what we can find in linux land?

I sure do hope the screen comes back at some point during this Intel graphics driver update process.

️Narrator: it didn't come back.
Forced reboot was required. Install completed though.

@thomholwerda I am very happy, thank you.
Are you enjoying the very responsive UI?

@thomholwerda @tragivictoria And it's already a massive improvement to Windows before 7.

@thomholwerda @tragivictoria Installing Windows made me switch to Linux. 20 years ago.

️Sleeping seems to hurt the Windows 11. Won't wake. Not sure yet what's going on.
I promised I'd use new Outlook. I'm using new Outlook. It's miserable.

What's with Windows 11 and laptop fans? I'm barely using the processor or Intel Arc GPU and the fans go haywire all the time.

It's the downloading of updates.
I had a room with 16 student PCs.
I switched them on all at the same time.
They had high CPU for over 1 hour.
Yes, computers sitting idle on the login screen.
Just to download windows updates.
After 1 hour the room temperature had risen by 1°C and the building AC was running.How do I know? Another lonly PC I switche on, had high burning fans. And when shutting down it installed updates. And after that the fans were quiet.
