I'm still just waiting for windows 11 ltsc, to see if that's any better when it ends up coming out.

Aside from weird design choices and obvious privacy issues I like Windows 11 much more than Windows 10. It is especially more usable on my 2in1 laptop, even though it doesn't officially "support" it, which is just nonsense.

I had to fix an issue on my wife's laptop. If you haven't used it in a while, do yourself a favor and try it. It's far worse than you think.
I use windows for work, and I just had to update to Win 11 when I got a new PC.
Jesus Christ I hate it.
So many fundamental parts of my workflow have been disrupted. I have yet to find one change which I actually like.
I thought they did a pretty good job with Windows 10, but this one is five steps backwards.
I don't know a thing about windows 11 but they'll have to claw windows 10 away from me to force me to switch. Why would I even want to? Windows 10 works just fine and even that I only switched to because they fucking forced me. If I could I'd still use Windows 2000. I loved that one. XP was fine as well though. I don't want to worry about my OS. I want it to fucking work.
But an OS you don't need to upgrade doesn't generate money.
Learning the shortcuts for multiple workspaces was a game changer for me in Windows.
Win + Ctrl + D to create a new virtual desktop
Win + Ctrl + ArrowRight or ArrowLeft to move to the next desktop
Win + Tab to arrange all Windows and desktops
Also dragging your window to the top to place it in a corner seems nice.
At home I'll always use Linux but for a work PC I can live with Windows.
But imagine, if you could just press win+number and then go to the exact workspace you want! Which KDE Plasma allows you to do.
I seriously cant get used to using win+ctrl+arrows. If i could change this, and with powertoys windows would not be that bad.

I mean between each good version, and now between each sub-decent version there is a shit version. Or 95 and 98 were both ok iirc and I don't know about before that but 2000, vista, 8, and now 11. You have to wait for 12 when they make it marginally better but still worse than the previous decent one. But each decent one will be progressively worse still but the anger version exists between to increase acceptance of the next one.

I hated Windows 11 because:
- Constant Telemetry
- Hogs resources. Examples include: Using 1/3 of my 1TB SSD and 1/2 of 16GB of DDR5 RAM
- Tons of vulnerabilities, several that remain unaddressed
- Forced updates
- The UI and start menu is hideous, search immediately searches Bing instead of my system for an app
I love Fedora 39 because:
- No telemetry, optional anonymous bug reporting
- Uses only 50GB of my 1TB SSD and 1.6GB of 16GB of DDR5 RAM on the OS plus GNOME
- Vulnerabilities continue to be patched through kernel updates (currently up to 6.7.7 on Fedora)
- I get to choose when to update my system
- I like my riced UI, the application menu is clean and search searches for apps on my system first with perfect accuracy
Did I prove my point?
No, The God would be sad of you did not mention the TempleOS, that's better than your bloat sistem. ;)

I primarily use Linux and boot into Win 10 as needed. That said, what's worse about 11? Never used it.
- Baked in advertising and telemetry.
- Resources hog.
- Desperate attempts to get you to use Edge.
- Decides to auto install bloat for you and continues to do it throughout its life cycle, like their AI cooilot and Dev Home.
- Fresh installs are filled with bloat incl services.
- Decides that it knows what you want to do better than you.
My laptop just had a hardware failure and I'm borrowing my partner's and had to uninstall the same bloatware 2-3 times today on a new profile (literally shit like ads for software downloads, solitaire and the MS Office extended universe). The rage is real. I usually use tools to strip windows if I need to use it, but I can't on this one.
Here is the tool I use. It's a 10/10. https://github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools

This meme is so cringe, fine you hate windows whatever but saying you would do this instead of using it makes me wanna convince you to put hot sauce in your eyes.
OS are tools, you use what fits your workflow better.
I use microwin and I can't go back to 10 it's just not secure enough to be messing around with gaming on that build which to be fair looks way better. I love dual booting Linux of course cuz it's just easier than messing around with virtual machines.
Oh yay another Windows 11 being bad meme, and all the same comments about it too. Feel like it's groundhog day cause this place only has 2 jokes that get recycled on repeat.
First time?

Sense I'm allergic to capsaicin, windows 11 please. Although it's fucking horrible. I prefer not to spend the rest of my life in extreme pain and blind. :/
That's a thing? My god, TIL. That's horrible. :( Just put half a Trinidad Scorpion Chili in my dinner yesterday. Suffering a little today but wouldn't have it any other way - they taste amazing.

Allergic to capsaicin? Dude, I'm so sorry that must really suck
I'd take the Tabasco any day
I've done both accidentally, I choose Tabasco.
It's not thaaaat bad c'mon guys! I mean I'm sometimes forced to setup/debug something on my family/relative's windows PC and all I take is a pill to keep my nausea under control that's it.
Dreading work upgrading in a year or whatever. We use specialist industrial software that works poorly enough on Windows. Only the first five menu options are translated from German, and all the text is larger than the fields so one only sees the top half of the letters.
