Hello! ✋ What PC, Laptop, Phone & Smartwatch (if any) do you use? Specs.

Amadex

stablecloud I did a downgrade from 11 to 10. 11 was buggy (clean install).

Amadex it's weird, my first maybe 3 months with Windows 11 were really good, smooth, liked the UI refresh, no real issues. Recently the windows search service broke after an update (so applications no longer showed up in start menu), despite fixing that the system just seems to suffer from frequent slowdowns, mouse jittering etc etc. These are not issues I've observed using different operating systems on the same hardware.

Knock on wood - Win 11 works fine for me.

Windows in general is far from the most stable OS I've seen, but a lot of times a good PSU, motherboard, and proper component drivers help solve a lot of problems.

Lucky to say I've never had problems with either XP, Win 7, 10 or 11 (though still early days for the latest Win. "incarnation").

IPhone SE (2020) - Personal use only. I love this phone. Does the job.

iPad (5th gen + LTE) - Work use mainly, and sometimes I use it to watch some media.

Google Pixel 2 - I love this phone; it still works like a charm.

iPhone 8 - Work phone

iPhone 8 plus - girlfriend's phone.

Samsung galaxy tab s4 ( LTE ) - Media Watching and road trips.

This is probably going to kill you but it is a Lenovo X220 with an SSD and Ram upgrade. I know it is old and cluncky just like this Yeti.

AuroraZero make a photo of it! I love thinkpads.

Is that Linux Mint?

AuroraZero

Yeah on this one it is, I usually run Slackware but running Mint. It works ok except the Intel wireless card seems to mess with it a bit.

Configuring a static IP (disabling DHCP) can help (no idea why).

I have not had a watch in years, last one I had there was a 2GB thumbdrive built into it and you connect a mini USB cable to use it. I loved that watch, might have to look into another one.

Tried it no joy, tried disabling power management no joy, tried disabling N no joy, reverted to old driver unicode no joy.

Just may have to live with it being tethered until I decide to switch back.

Works well - stable, fast, cool and as quiet as can reasonably be expected from contemporary high-consumption computer equipment.

I've ordered today a ThinkPad x260 for fun. It was cca. 130€.

I don't know the condition, it's a lottery. We'll see.

AuroraZero
