    so upgraded to Windows 11 and now Sling TV works in Brave but no longer works in Edge and Chrome, LOL. I also didn't like the placement of the task bar. I like it on the right side of the screen. So I had to hack that. Otherwise, It is still winders. Everything else seems to work.

      Have you tried Doom? :laugh: BTW, Thank you and all the other early adopters for testing it out. From what I've read so far (here), there are more complaints than accolades. When it includes a 'must have' feature, I'll consider the move, otherwise I'm happy with X. My current PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements so for now, I'm just a spectator anyway. Good luck! :)

        It's odd to say this but Windows 10 is my last version of Windows. I love the mac hardware (and have tried pretty much every other laptop and found them wanting), and MS in their infinite wisdom simply don't support non-TPM systems. VS Code runs nicely on macOS and all my code from hereon in will be cross platform. So sorry Microsoft, you've decided my future is macOS. And given almost everything is web-based these days, I'm actually looking forward to simply living in iPadOS one of these days. (But congrats, and I hope it works out well, and I am very curious as to how it is. I worry there's still lots of win95 holdovers poorly wrapped (or simply linked to) by a thin layer. That makes me sad)

        cheers Chris Maunder

          this is a work laptop. I am proud to say all my personal devices run some version of Linux. Garuda is my favorite at the moment and yes VSCode works on this OS as well.

            I installed Start11 quickly after the upgrade. Now I have my taskbar and start menu configured very nicely. Explorer context menus are a bit annoying, but I can still do what I need.

              Same here Chris, I'm not continuing beyond windows 10. I have perfectly good hardware, that runs all my development software that I need, and allows me to d my day to day job as required, I'm simply not prepared to contribute more eWaste to the planet in the name of progress. If they don't want to support it, or are fed up with folks with ancient PC's demanding that MS fix thier problems, then fine, cut off support and help at a given age point, but in my mind as long as the hardware works and runs everything ok, I really don't see what the issue is. Yes all of my newer hardware is a little on the old side, but it all works perfectly, and what's more NONE of it has any problems running the most up to date versions of Linux. Since I moved from Visual Studio to JetBrains, I now also don't have any need for running on a windows system anymore. My Development IDE's work cross platform, .NET & .NET Core is now cross platform, I NO longer need IIS for most of my projects as I can run them behind any web server, my databases are all cross platform now (Since I typically only work with SQL Server, PostgreSQL and SQLite) I can do all my embedded stuff on Linux now too, and for the ultimate twist in irony... My Windows Mixed Reality VR headset actually works better on Steam running under Linux than it does on the windows platforms. So yes, when support ends, so will my 30 year stint with windows.... I've been in this for the long haul since windows 286 :-) AND I still maintain... the BEST ever version of windows that was ever built was "Windows 2000"

                I know I can replace the start menu with 3rd party software, but I just can't get over the new start menu, I can't stand the way it looks or operates, so I'm not upgrading. 11 feels like windows 8 or Vista, easy to skip over
