Bill said Windows 10 was the last one, so...

11? Fuck that, I'm not sidegrading to 8.
I ain't even joking. My media PC is still on 7, everything else is on Linux now.
True story: I had been consistently telling my laptop not to upgrade to Windows 11 for literally months. I left it at home for like 3 days and when I came back it had upgraded itself anyway. That was the day I completely deleted Windows from my laptop. Formatted the entire hard drive and haven't regretted it yet. Never even logged into Windows 11.
Where Linux
I moved to Linux (Arch btw) and I havenβt looked back.
The lack of bloatware and the snappiness of Linux just beats any other OS.
TIL that you can be coerced into win 11 upgrade. I have immunity, tho! My PC is too shitware ;-;
Stay on 10 for as long as possible if you have to use windows. Ideally go for LTSC and even more ideally, switch to sth else
LTSC is good for a machine with a dedicated purpose. My DJ laptop runs LTSC, for example. But I wouldn't suggest using it as your main OS unless you don't mind reinstalling Windows every year (I don't, but some people do).
11 really isn't that bad once you work around the bullshit. Use StartAllBack to restore the old Start Menu and position the taskbar vertically, and SoundSwitch to keep it from changing your default audio device every time you plug something in. Once you install those two apps, dare I say that 11 is better than 10.
Hell, it's worth it alone for its considerably better HDR experience. In 10 you had to constantly fiddle with it, or even turn it off altogether when viewing non-HDR content, if you didn't want a washed-out image. In 11, just enable AutoHDR, change your monitor settings to automatically tone map (instead of using HGiG), and forget about it. You'll never have to mess with settings, toggling things, or calibrations ever again to get a good HDR and SDR image, even in games. It just works.
Man, I miss Dan Vs.
Does win 11 still require physical hardware to run? Why I have to sacrifice one of my motherboard slots for a worthless authentication chip that might stop working and brick my computer - ya I'll stay with 10.
I have to say I really like windows 11. Itβs more secure and it runs well for me. Itβs very similar to 10 still with some more refined existing features, and even some cool new ones like live captioning and OCR snipping
Yeah people are just circlejerking. Itβs not that different than 10.
Yep, that sounds exactly like every other windows version. It's the same thing
It's unfortunate for you guys who choose not to because eventually you will have to.
The even more unfortunate part will be the security risk you pose for yourself when support ends.
May I introduce you to Linux?
No.
Simply because I don't want to be one of those people who feel they have to tell everyone they're a vegan, I mean a Linux user
What is this meme from? A show I assume?
some of us have still PTSD from moving from XP to vista, or even worse, from win 7 to 8.0
