Please stop. This is getting me depressed and I don't even use Windows.

I can't run a lot of games with anti-cheat on Linux, so it's not viable for me.

Switch to Linux!

Where your sound card can stop working randomly when you reboot, or your network card won't work at the same time as your mouse!

actually these are the kind of issues I'm having on windows right now. (i have a secondary machine with windows 11)

sound card stops working if i have my mic enabled for too long, network card driver stops refreshing ipv6 adresses randomly, cpu usage randomly spikes to 100% while in sleep mode (causing the temperature to spike to like 95 degrees because the fan exhaust is covered when the lid is closed (also i have disabled auto updates (using a GPO, i do them manually) and background ms defender scans, so it's not that))

I'm considering just nuking that install too

I've never had any issues like that, been running Fedora for 3 or so years now.

Wow, Microsoft are always so innovative! I never thought that the Win11 taskbar could get any shittier, but somehow they managed it. It's great to see those thousands of engineers being put to good use.
