Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, stealing data to train its shity AI and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it. Reasons for a Change of Heart:
1 Increased Linux gaming
2 Apple's entry into the low end PC market with 0 forced AI
3 The "Microslop" social media shaming campaign
4 Increased costs due to AI leading to almost 0 ROI since there is no consumer demand https://www.sambent.com/microsofts-plan-to-fix-windows-11-is-gaslighting/

@nixCraft 99% of the reason I still have Windows is just gaming. The day Linux has a half-cooked alternative I'll be out.

The day is today. Indo have a new notebook (a Lenovo Thinkpad E16 Gen 2 AMD) without Windows 8nstalled under Linux Mint latest version and it runs like a charm. I can play some older games ( like Skyrim LE or Fallout NV) smoothly. This isn't a gaming computer...
