LOL. Operating systems aren't an ideology, they are a tool.

    And some tools are objectively worse than others. Windows 11 loses to Windows 10 in every area except for AI integration (if you can call this a loss), and security updates (which Microsoft arbitrarily stopped to force people to switch).

    If Windows 10 is a screwdriver, then Windows 11 is a butter knife glued to a 10 lb weight and a flock camera that Microsoft chained to your hand when they stole your toolbox.

    I very much disagree on that, along with millions of others. The only advantage Win10 has over Win11 is familiarity, otherwise known as learning curve. Reliability, snap layouts, widgets, improved file explorer, plus a really awesome phone integration environment. Add on top of that constant updates and upgrades and it isn't even a close comparison.

    Reliability

    LOL, no. Win 11 had 3 major update issues this year alone.

    snap layouts

    99% of people just used left and right, which was already in 10, and you could already access other layouts in 10, there was just a different interface for it.

    widgets

    You're fucking joking right? Widgets have been in windows since Vista, and no one liked them back then either.

    improved file explorer,

    Improved by turning it into an elecron app? Improved by drastically increasing the ram usage and hobbling the search performance? Improved by unpinning it from the taskbar? The new file explorer is fucking garbage, and is easily one of the dumbest and worst things about 11, right behind the new printer management UI.

    really awesome phone integration environment.

    You are genuinely the first person I've heard mention this, and you'll probably be the last.

    Add on top of that constant updates and upgrades and it isn’t even a close comparison.

    See issue number 1, also, the updates only ended because Microsoft declined to continue supporting "the last version of Windows".

    You are right that the comparison isn't even close. 8 and 7 were closer in terms of performance and market adoption than 11 and 10.
