11's been fine for me. I know this is a hot take around here but if any readers are dreading it because of things you've read, just try it out.
It's not the usability that's the issue, it's the spyware.
Windows 10 has had more or less all of the same spyware backported to it.
People said the same shit with windows 10 vs 7/8. I swear every other update is the same cope over and over again.
I'm not worried about functionality, I'm worried about ads, AI, and privacy. Win11 is actively hostile on all three points
Also, "end of life" doesn't mean your computer bursts into flames, it just means you stop getting patches.
People around here are super excited about it being this momentous occasion, I guarantee the people that have lived with the "Activate Windows" watermark for a decade don't care about the "patches are over" pop-up, either.
I mean, Windows 7 has more users than Linux Mint in the Steam survey.
Tried it on my laptop and work computer. Absolutely hate it. I refuse to upgrade my gaming PC to it. I'm planning on swapping to Linux Mint whenever I feel motivated.

Then ask why.
