I tried win11 for about 2 hours and installed linux on the third hour and haven't used a windows machine in over a year. Windows costs an obscene price AND they have so much tracking and spyware that it actively impacts gaming performance.

Complete trash OS. I won't be going back and I now actively avoid any game that doesn't function on linux.

We're starting to roll out Win11 at work. I created a GPO that keeps certain individuals on Win10. I am not looking forward to the day when that policy has to be retired.

Not to mention the price of all the resource hogging and handicapping your workflow by changing everything around everytime.

The enshittification of an OS that used to be pretty good. It's a shame. I haven't touched Windows for over a year as well.
