Windows has been alternating between good and crap for decades. ME, crap. XP, good. Vista, crap. 7, good. 8/8.1, crap. 10, good…ish. 11, steaming feces. 12 will probably be at least half decent.
I doubt that will be true anymore. 12 will probably have even more spyware and ads than 11.
I really ought to switch my main pc to Linux.
Do it today.
I switched to Bazzite on my main PC at the start of September and it's been great. I only use Windows for steam link vr streaming
Fedora on kde is nice.
Second Fedora, prefer Cosmic or Gnome tho.
The most Windows-like desktop(and more) on Linux is KDE, second maybe to Cinnamon, and XFCE if we're talking XP-ish and classic.
On Linux, your underlying system is not reliant on your GUI. They are not bonded in any sense, and the GUI can be any number of different programs, known as Desktops.
You can run a Ubuntu system with the KDE desktop, or the Gnome desktop, Unity, or XFCE, or Cinnamon... or maybe two or three at once and choose at login! he's a madman!
I like how GNOME looks, I've messed around with it a little on my laptop.
12 will very likely just be 11. They don't do OS development like they used to. Windows is essentially now an OS that gets DLC every 6 months.
11 is just 10, so… yeah.
Fake news. MS said that Win 10 was the last one they were going to make so all of those others you mentioned are obviously fake.
10, good…ish.
Windows 10 was never really good, its launch was very rocky. Most people just stockholmed their way into liking 10.
It started to get some much needed dev features around 2019.
I'm a heretic, but Vista > 7 and 8.1 > 10.
Fuck you
Love you too <3
I use Arch BTW.
I've had the opposite experience - 10 sucked, but I have no complaints about 11... Though it might make a difference that my experience with 10 was after my old (win7 vintage) laptop took the free update, while my 11 experience is based on a new laptop that came with it preinstalled...
