How UI degrades over time.
Top (Windows 95): great contrast, obvious shapes. Instantly readable.
Middle (Windows 11): shapes are still self-explanatory, but contrast is gone.
Bottom (Windows 11 Insiders): what am I even looking at? The only shape I can understand here is the Run button. Barely visible, though.
Then, on the left, there’s another something that says Run and has an icon. What is it? A window title? Another button? Why does it have to say Run twice?
... 1/3
250 million laptops.
Two hundred and fifty million win10 laptops have been "made landfill" by windows11.
Windows 11 doesnt work, has handcuffs, is designed to spy and report, is crammed with AI, and rhe CEO saidcrecently all core functions ate broken, its written by AI.
Ram prices ate skyrocketing, malware and viruses exploding.
Nazis taking over government, led by tech Bros.
Its time.

Not only TPM ... just the amount of RAM required to run Windows is gastronomic compared to Linux.
I mean, you can get a fully fledged, top-notch 2025 user-experience on a 10 year old laptop with 8-16GB RAM and an Intel i5 CPU if you install Linux on it. And then we're talking about a Linux release from 2025.
Such a machine would barely be able to run Windows10 with a smooth user experience.

Buy?
Online? Ask for free everyday, Microsoft is obsolescing 250,000,000 devices, they cannot run win11 and win10 will be virus encrusted, unsupported.
Its throw out 250 million laptops, or install linux.
Its criminal, but, possibly, a software revolution.

OK, you first.
It JFW s for me. I don't really care if it's popular, as long as they stop fscking with the standards. And much of that is a matter of law rather than tech. I don't want to be spied upon by every a*hole with a credit card.
This reads like it was posted in 2000s.
It's now more than ever easier to install Linux, it's more simple to maintain, it's easier to install things via package manager.
I would argue it's easier to use than Windows if you grab the right distro.
I don't miss having to faff about in the registry editor & dealing with hidden settings that I have to add to actually change.
The software I left behind in Windows 10 is not missed.
Just reads like a salty salty post from the past.
Shouldn't be so hard on your self.
More people should seek knowledge, the computer is the bicycle of the mind.
Now excuse me while I RTFM & DOS for dummies til I 💤
Its not just the software that I dislike.
I'm Just a rebel without a clue who doesn't care to support oppressive corporations.
Not to mention all the contracts handed by various goverments around the world to MS for infrastructure that helps drones via Azure in surveillance & dropping bombs with minimal latency.
Not only are they not allies, but accomplices to tearing away rights and freedoms from all of us.
So this horse ain't drinking that water.
@audreygwinter @kevinrns @grumpy_website this is free software. You pay zero for it. Where on earth do you get off demanding that a free as in feeedom operating system you have done zero to support do what you want in the way you want it?
The operating systems that work the way you want and do what you want already exist. They are called windows or osx. You pay for them. That's how Apple and Microsoft can afford to pay the salaries of literally 10s of thousands of developers needed to do that.
