At this point, any time there is "next big update" of anything, I don't want to have anything to do with it.
Kernel might be an exception (I mean, I did work in cybersecurity, so I understand the importance of updates pretty well), but still. I don't think there has been an update of anything I've been using that wasn't just an enshitification bullshit in the last few years...
Same!
My MacBook is 10 versions behind because the latest updates are all cosmetic or adding weird AI shit I don't want.
I watched my wife's windows 11 which she only uses to play The Sims go to shit with AI garbage and constant ads to upgrade her Microsoft Office, which she never uses.
My TV updated and now there's fucking banner ads.
I'm reaching a point where I don't trust updates anymore.
You can uninstall Microsoft office
I would propose Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, works fine if you need Windows. The only thing is that Microsoft won't sell you a license as a private person, but if they don't want the revenue, fuck em.
I had issues with ads popping up on my Samsung TVs. Started using a pihole and it went away.
I'm not sure if it's still the case but the updates on older MacBooks used to essentially brick them because they made them so slow. I know several Apple users who refuse to update their device unless forced to because of this fear.
