    • Worse drivers.
    • More bloat.
    • More “telemetry” (spyware and adware).
    • It breaks a ton of the systems I’ve had to implement by sheer force.

    Why the FUCK would I do that? Just to give microsoft more money? Go and FUCK yourself.

        Microsoft also works with American intelligence, like other corporations. They won’t even fix zero day exploits without first letting the NSA know in advance. Telecoms have black rooms whose entire purpose is to siphon data directly to the authorities, Microsoft probably has a whole building.

    My work computer is on W11. Notifications got much worse, and moved to a harder-to-reach shortcut. There’s a persistent bug with maximization, in which many forms of apps will suddenly take over the region normally reserved for the taskbar (no, I’m not referring to full screen modes) that so far as I can tell can only be fixed by logging out.

    The UI is worse, making settings pages even more confusing. Windows Explorer has dived deep into iconography, while still not being clear about what those icons mean. The new context menus are missing options, so they need an extra one to go back to W10’s options.

    This is of course setting aside their blatant lies about “It’s not spyware we promise we promise”, among so many other hundreds of problems. I’m doomed to stay on W10 for now to finish a project, but afterwards, I’ll be finding a distro I prefer.

    I mean, it’s windows 10, but worse

    • If you have 8gb or less of RAM, it’s constantly swapping and trash your SSD

    • It always needs to automatically install the fucking updates in the background hogging the CPU and SSD time when you actually need to work/play

    • When they introduce bugs, they take years to fix them. The taskbar took 3 years to be restored to features that were present since windows 95. One year ago they introduced a new bug that with some display port monitors, when it goes in standby, the resolution switches for a second to 640*480, trashing all windows and desktop layout, super infuriating. Probably this will be fixed in windows 12

    Plus with all their decision to force people to trash millions of perfectly working computers… I know many they just give up on personal computers and just use phones/tablet as it’s enough for them

      The updates are off the fucking charts. Constantly updating/breaking services and apps are useless literally until you reboot. They really took the “reboot will fix it” and ran as far as they could go.

      I’m grateful. It was the push I needed to stop using windows.

      If they’d made it even vaguely tempting I probably wouldn’t have bothered.

      If you use Rufus to create a USB stick, there is an advanced option to disable the TPM check. So it’s just an extra checkbox.

    I moved to Linux thanks to their enshittification. I’m kicking myself I didn’t do it years ago. Linux is how an OS should be.

    My work computer had to be upgraded to 11

    Why does my fucking file explorer stop responding so much?

    I don’t understand how they fucked this up so badly

      GUI elements in the taskbar on a shared work computer or any of the new UI style like to just disappear on hover. Or at random. Or only appear on hover.

      Its a pretty recent Lenovo system with a Quadro, a 4k scaled and 1080p monitor. It doesn’t do it when IT remotes in, ever.

      I more surprised by how slow the start menu is. It’s absolutely incredible. Windows 7 start bar was faster on my core 2 duo with spinning hdd both to open and search than windows 11 on my 9800X3D with nvme ssd.

    Windows shoving AI down everyone’s throats lead me to Linux. First Debian, then Fedora. BTW I’m using Arch now. I love AI, but giving Microsoft full access to my entire file system by force rubs me the wrong way.

      Same. I run a dual-boot with Linux Mint, but have a windows installation for gaming. I do 99% of my computing on Linux now.

    Only Microsoft wants to upgrade. A product without a market in a monopoly is capitalism end game.

    Even if I had wanted to upgrade, I wouldn’t be able to, since Microsoft needs hardware mg computer doesn’t have. I can’t imagine most people would care enough to even think about that. They’d just keep using the computer until it no longer worked, and in the modern day, that will take a lot longer than it would have a decade or two ago.
