Search only feels better in 11 because 10s was so bad. Both of them are pretty bad.
Comment on Leaks confirm low takeup for Windows 11
WoodenBleachers@lemmy.basedcount.com 8 months agoHDR support is a big one for me and the reason I switched. APK support is nice. I like the glassy look although that could be achieved on 10 via other means. The search function feels much better to use and it’s nice because I like to use the search function instead of keeping things on my desktop

Fair, but I feel my point stands. It’s not like spotlight on Mac, but it actually understands what I want now. I use it mostly to launch programs.
And before someone attacks me: I use all 3 major OSes weekly. Hot takes: Mac doesn’t suck and isn’t incompatible for the majority of tasks, but it does end support for things normal people don’t care about, Linux is not that great when it comes to normal quality of life (not power user stuff, it’s awesome for that), and windows makes things easy to access while somehow making everything behind a million menus and across different menus (but still much easier to change than linux)

How much better is the HDR support in Win11? Does it stop your desktop looking washed out when turned on?
SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yea that has been fixed. And AutoHDR is pretty much a must have if you have a real HDR monitor. (Not that fake hdr400 B’s they put on all monitors nowadays.)

Might finally have to give it a look then. I have a good HDR monitor now but it looks so bad with HDR turned on when not in a game.

For me it does. I have two HDR monitors, neither with exceptional hdr. Both look much better with it on, but I personally like the HDR look that some things have. I can tell when something is washed out, but my RGB has also not been properly calibrated. Regular HDR modes in games suck and make it look like I’m staring at the sun or an old photo. Auto HDR makes fire look brighter

MS Indexing is terrible. It’s only saving grace is that it scans inside Outlook. If you want a fast search and instant results try Everything by VoidTools com.
