Win10 or win11 for dcs?

[skypickle]

Has anyone noticed an improvement with win11? I guess it matters if you have a recent intel cpu with big little architecture but i dont know.

More bugs in Win 11 ? Usually takes 3+ years until a new Windows version is useful. But we need beta testers to find those bugs, so feel free...

Actually, I feel even more so when I encounter one of the many shortcomings that Linux Desktops have.

- Can't install any of the recent ( ~2 years ) Debian/Ubuntu/Mint unless in compatibility mode, it just won't digest my 1080ti until I install the NV Meta driver. Not an issue for me, I can run it headless and work on shell, for many the game is over at that point before it even started.

- Numerous Sound issues with multiple speakers/headphones connected.No proper Realtekcodec implementation ( also due to lack of source code to be fair ) and no real support for higher end DAC's. They just dont get sound sorted properly, multi-in multi-out doesn't work. No sound on speakers unless I unplug my headphones. At least, they got it working in 22.04.  A very annoying bug for any gaming PC and I have this on all recent PC's with "normal" onboard sound found on every midrange board

- ZFS on 22.04 can be a mess. Prepare to clean your boot drive manually or you can't new kernels anymore. Not a ZFS bug, a nasty implementation bug that you cant solve when formatted. Real nice ! 

zfs list -t snap -r -o name,used,refer,creation bpool

sudo zfs destroy bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_zu4sdi@autozsys_0n2yi4

LOVE IT !

-  I could go on..

I like Linux and I use it everyday, Desktop and Servers, but to say "use it because Redmond treats you as a Beta Tester and we don't" is not what reality looks like.

 

 

I would pick 11 unless there is a real issue that you cannot solve but they are rare.

I run many machines on 10 and 11, they both work great but 11 is nicer to work with if you get used to it and imho it seems to run smoother.

Running a 12700k and just made the move to win 11, nothing but benefits across the board. 

I stayed on 10 far to long.

Anecdotally, Win 11. Especially if you're running 13th gen intels with E cores, as Win10 still doesn't know what to do with them.

I stick to Win 10 with Disabled automatic update as well as a lot of features running in the background which I don't need for gaming and are using a lot of resources both in RAM, storage space and CPU usage, Broaadband wiudth is also optimized.

Linux remains an option, I really don't like Microsoft policies and the way they invade people's privacy and "lose" their datas, if Linux allows me the same level of gaming, including with future upgrades (GPU aand VR headset), I'll go for it and won't look back.

I have recently added a dual boot Win 11 & 10 after having some problems with iRacing VR performance with Win 11.

The Win 10 partition is for games and has the bare minimum stuff running. It fixed the iRacing performance issue, haven’t seen it reported elsewhere so may be specific to my hardware.

I now run DCS on the Win 10 partition though I can’t say I notice any difference in performance. I just feel a bit happier having a partition “protected” from general PC utility installations and updates.
