According to Statcounter, Windows 11 held a 55.18% market share in October 2025. That share dropped to 53.7% in November and dropped again in December. Now, Windows 11 holds a 50.73% market share.

Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

It's not just AI, W11 is slow and unfriendly in general

    Yep. Everything that runs in windows 10 runs worse on Windows 11 and y are getting nothing in return. My work PC can barely manage a big spreadsheet now.

    Yeah, for a while I was looking for any benefits to moving from win 10 to 11. 7 to 10 had kernel and scheduler improvements, for example.

    Only ones I could find were the virtual desktop support (though I had an alternative desktop back in the XP or Vista days that supported that, so not really groundbreaking), and WSL, which I didn't have any use cases for.

    Other than that, it was just shit I didn't want. Copilot, recall, more UI changes that don't really add anything (on my work laptop where I didn't have a choice, first thing I did was go into the UI options and undo as much as I could). One of the things I used to like about windows was that it wasn't a mac, but the UI changes look like that's their inspiration. The inspired folks porbably all left already.

    Wait, what do you mean? 10 had virtual desktops and WSL (LSW!) too
