Surprised to see so many defending windows 11 here! The ad insertion all throughout the system is SO bad, but what they've done to the right-click (context?) Menu was the last straw. Like, most options are hidden underneath the stupid inflated touch-friendly list. Give me a button to disable it (that isn't in the registry), at least!

The final straw for me though was my VR just quit one day - but I could dual boot back to windows 10 and it was fine somehow 🤷‍♂️ did a bunch of tricks to get it working to no avail, so I scrapped the windows 11 demo partition and finally gave Linux a try.

VR definitely isn't ready on Linux (if you're stuck with an nvidia card like I am, for now) - but considering the OS is built on FOSS and its this feature rich and stable??? Never going back.

Yeah i agree. The ad stuff is really bad. Having ads in the browser is enough. I don't want it in my OS. But even all the way back in Windows 7 some people busted Windows in "calling home" when something was entered in the search field in the Start menu. This was caught using the ZoneAlarm firewall.

I'm forced to use Win 11 at work, for sEcUrItY.
But I'm actually working within a full-screen Debian VM on HyperV until someone with authority tells me to knock it off.

Wooooooah. My wife’s new glasses actually came with a tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce (with the eye doctor’s business info printed on it).

I’d give them credit for the meme, but I have a feeling they’re clueless, as they also push “healing salt lamps” in that place.

Her new progressives came out great at least though!
