Windows 11 has changed this, many many people now warn other people about not using Windows 11 because it is such shit. Doesn’t matter what you run, just don’t run Windows 11.

Hey, whats so bad about w11?

Obsoleting a lot of relatively recent fast hardware means people are either faced with a fuck off or complicated work arounds. Then there is forcing people to log in with their MS email account which they may not have or want or again forcing people into complicated work arounds. The implicit privacy issues of recall if it was rolled out as planned.

Wait i have w11 in my laptop… i dont have a windows account sign in. Is that a forthcoming change?

Ads are fucked, thats fucked.

But it mainly seems like microsoft policy, not necessarily w11 itself is the issue?

I ignorantly think a monthly subscription would never happen and we’d see mass linux adoption.

I have a dual boot in my near term plans for my desktop. I would pull that trigger immediately if ads or subscriptions materialized.
