I only maintain a single computer with Windows 11, an Intel NUC 11 Essentials. It's only purpose in life is to run #Yaesu WIRES-X PDN node software - #hamradio

I find Windows to be death by a thousand paper cuts. I wish ham radio vendors would offer Flatpak versions of their software. USB drivers shouldn't be a stumbling block.

After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all

I regret nothing
