    I reckon we’ll get another year out of it, and I also think within a year, there will be plenty of workarounds to make W11 usable for moderately tech savvy people like us

    The loudest voices shouting about how bad W11 is are always Linux users, especially on Lemmy

      If we had nothing to complain about, we’d still be using Windows. It’s why we aren’t.

        I’m still using windows and I’ve nothing to complain about; I know how to get it to work perfectly for me.

        Go to the Linux community and 70% of the questions are “how do I get this to work?”

        You definitely have a lot to complain about, and yous do, frequently. Most adults don’t have time to fanny about trying to get a program to work with their OS, so they’re happy with Mac or Windows

        If Linux was everyday-usable they’d have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it’s been over two decades

          It’s why they made an account. Go to any Steam game community page, lmao. Linux isn’t exclusive on that one. They wouldn’t be posting if they didn’t have a question? It’s why they showed up.

          Do people go to Microsoft forums to hang out with their buddies?

          I know how good Linux is, it’s why I use it. I won’t be trolled out of using it because it’s too hard for you. I use it every day. I’m using it rn.

          You are conveniently forgetting that every Laptop that isn’t a Mac comes with Windows by default

      I’m a windows-fan since… Errr… The first one. I’m a pro also with tons of win-certificates for everything. Even i started to effing hate w11. It started nice with the hdr and such, but the startmenu alone made me go nuts. Bought the one from stardock, didn’t satisfy me, made my own. If they don’t rudder back with their obnoxious ui in w12, I’m probably leaving and only dual booting for optimal gaming. I’m not troubled by the whole consumer annoyances coz I’m in a local domain with a lot of group-policies. Also global ad-/telemetry-block and firewall.

      I actually liked some of the features that came with win11 but it was so bloated that it wouldn’t run that well on my old laptop.
