I just need to complain to people that get it.

How in the hell does W11 not have a basic text replacement function. You need to install powertoys if you want something that smartphones have been doing for ages. All I want is to type a few characters that automatically becomes my long work email. And Microsoft says fuck you if you want this for accessibility.

At least every day at work makes me appreciate Linux at home more.

Yep, I feel you there! Complain, vent, because that is the only pressure valve you will get to release the unnecessary tension that Windows inflicts on your mind. Thankfully, I get to know the joys of using Linux at home, having to only do occasional battle with Windows 11 at work (when I need to do my computer learning modules for corporate policies associated with my job). I don't need to do anything serious with Windows 11 at work, thankfully.

    I have been into Linux for decades now but recently decided to stop using Windows wherever possible. This has inspired me to work on a home lab amongst other things so I can eventually move away from the majority of online platforms. I am done, I really am.

    No more corporate bullshit and the final straw was Windows 11 constantly nagging you with dark patterns. Not to mention that now every installed piece software creates pop-ups constantly demanding your attention or trying to sell you on upgrades or new features thus interupting your workflow. It is a real shit show.

    Oh yeah, that is what killed the joy for me...All the dark patterns (when those despicable patterns could be smote by end users) were bearable for a time. But when it became difficult to even do that for my computer because Microslop decided to change defaults every other update or so...I was done when Recall was first announced. Got whatever the latest version of Ubuntu installed on my Desktop and eventually ended up using Garuda Linux (currently switched to GNOME Desktop). I am pretty much just using open source whenever possible and only using closed when there is no other choice or if my exit hatch from said closed source provider hasn't yet been secured.

    I love the peace that Linux provides, I have learned to not summon the machine imps through my bad decisions and am far more careful with my PC tinkering that I haven't caused myself any major problems in months. Fixing problems more and more tiny issues, getting back into my troubleshooting era that I thought had been lost to time. ROFL

    Somehow, Adobe acrobat is even worse and i use it for just about every task at work as well.

    Ugh, Adobe is just nasty in general...I couldn't imagine having no other choice but using it. Vile software, I would exorcise the demon with three applications of Document Viewer and a hand grenade filled with condensed Gentoo Linux (the badly written Handbook too). I know Document Viewer probably isn't up for real work in corporate situations, but...I am lucky I don't have complicated needs.
