Where are they going to? Windows 10? Mac? It’s Mac, isn’t it? 🙁

Edit: read the article --> they’re going back to windows 10

Hilariously, they won’t even let me upgrade to 11.

Can’t get people on 11 if you don’t make it available.

Can’t upgrade if you keep the tpm2.0 chip off. My PC could handle it if I could ever figure out how to force myself to change that setting, every time I think of it SQUIRREL

Yup. Same here. Funny though, I seem to have enough attention span to learn about Linux.

Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 are all superior to 11.

Firefox, Chrome and Opera are all superior to Edge.

So, yeah.

I havent tried 11, but I hate 10. It’s functional. But the fact that I had to create a Microsoft account to log in, even without internet access, drove me nuts.

There’s workarounds. But the constant nagging about needing your Microsoft account is exhausting. Then to use GamePass, it was required.

I’ve switched to Linux on everything except my gaming computer. But soon…

7 and 8.1?

As long as you don’t like getting security updates…

It is good that they don’t have those updates reboot for every update was frustrating. If that wasn’t the usual behavior then I know why it BSODs.

I’m planning on continuing with win10/Linux dualboot until I save up enough for a full PC upgrade, then it’ll be just Linux with a Windows 10 VM if absolutely needed. I have to use win11 for work and it’s absolutely awful. Alt tabbing gets stuck all the time, if I have more than one window open on a shortcut, pressing super+number gets stuck in the little preview window with nothing selectable. Can’t move the task bar to the top of the screen, it constantly freezes when logging back in. Just poop all around

Windows 11 has a crap UI, is difficult to install, and offers few advantages over Windows 10. No wonder it’s tanking.

Edge has become a bloated Privacy nightmare.

It’s the main reason I finally switched to Linux. I felt less like a customer and more like a product using Windows these days.
