  • It looks like Windows 11 is losing market share. What's funny is that its losing to Windows 10. How is Microsoft going to end support for Windows 10 next year when its still there most popular operating system? What will it take for people to switch to Windows 11? This looks like trouble for Microsoft.

      To be sincere, unless you have some very specific PAID software that uses older versions of Net Framework to be activated (Making it impossible to activate them on Linux), Linux nowadays (Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc), are incredibly easy to use. With the exception of Power Users of the system, that still keep making tutorials on how to use everything on a command prompt using sudo commands, the entire system works like Windows, but even better because it's possible to do anything you want with it, you can install themes that changes the entire system, you can have a system that looks like Windows 7 or any other windows and do it your way, and it's fast, very well made and receives updates constantly.
      And thanks to Steam efforts to make Steam Deck a thing, 95% of the Steam Library runs on Linux by using their own emulator on the system, so you have no need to do anything but update your drivers if needed.
      The sole reason I'm on Windows is LITERALLY the lack of ways of activating Scrivener there right now, and I'll keep trying on my laptop until I can do it. Once I do, I'll leave windows 11 on my PC too.

The whole purpose of Microsoft Windows is to have a UI. It was designed specifically for the UI as an improvement over command line DOS and MS-DOS. The fact of the matter is that what was once a great operating system with the options and control panels you needed under Windows 7 has been purposefully dumbed down with those same options concealed specifically to make it more difficult to do what otherwise in the past has been a very simple task.

    I have always been hesitant and late when it comes to upgrading my windows OS. In 2007... I was still using Windows 95, and then upgraded to Windows XP around 2009, then Windows 7 very late, and with my most recent OS, Windows 10 very late. I will not upgrade to Windows 11 just because what Microsoft is doing with their OS designs. I will switch to Linux ( Ubuntu and Mint ), and FreeBSD ( via USB HDD plug in that the BIOS switches to in the boot up), but still keep using Windows off-line with backups to reinstall the system, and my data. The other problem with upgrading or even changing to a new OS, is learning the new OS and investing ( and relearning ) in the software all over again.

    People love to fearmonger but in reality the security is 100x better than in the windows XP days and just because you don't get security updates doesn't mean you will suddenly get hacked.

In the last month alone I've put Win 10 on 6 PC's. The district manager for the McD's in our area (42 stores, 3 in our city alone) has stated they will move to Linux before ever upgrading to win 11. Micro$oft's word is so dis-ingenuous now. It's one thing when you don't listen to the avg consumer, but when you ignore what business's are keeping your company alive, it's only a matter of time.

      nah, mint still has some of the same bs issues that linux in general tends to have. what should be a seamless experience that just works, often doesn't. this coming from a guy who ran centos servers for years, has a pfsense box, and still loves linux for anything server related. the end user desktop experience is just crappy unless all you're doing is productivity work and coding. the minute you want to do enthusiast stuff like gaming, making game mods, etc there's always some stupid issue that pops up. For example, I recently installed linux mint, went great. I used the automatic update tool, and it failed six downloads. Those failed packages ended up breaking the entire operating system to the point that even the firefox browser built in wouldn't launch anymore. No matter what, even changing repositories, those packages could not be downloaded and the OS was broken. I figure okay sure why not just go into Windows since I set it up with grub for dual boot. Nope, because for some reason, grub won't detect my keyboard which googling that is apparently a known issue. Switch out to multiple keyboards and same thing, impossible to select operating systems and it defaults to the broken mint OS. End up having to use recovery media for windows, go into the troubleshooting command prompt, and rebuild the MBR, use EaseUS to wipe the linux partition and merge it back in. This is stuff that the end user should never have to encounter. Microsoft is indeed crappy, but they got rid of these sort of out of the box issues back with windows 98.

I tried it... the only benefit I got out of it was appriciating that 8.1 wasn't worse. That experience got me properly into using Linux for day to day (non-gaming) stuff.

      i would still use windows 7 in a heartbeat if it was still supported. windows 10 is garbage, windows 11 is unbearable.

    I tried as much as I could to avoid Windows 11 when I started hearing the horror stories about driver issues, hardware not being read, and increasingly invasive telemetry. When I heard about the EOS date for next October, it made me glad that I had already been learning Linux. I installed Mint on an old ThinkPad R61 to dabble with, but then I installed Mint on my gaming laptop and Debian on a HP Stream 14 that I was gifted two years ago. Almost every daily task I could do on Windows, I could do on Linux. Gaming hasn’t been perfect, but office programs, graphic design programs, and web-based tasks have been smooth. So I should thank Microsoft for making a mess out of Windows 11, because now I have more reason to learn Linux.

      That'll unfortunately only work until the software you use stops supporting 21H2 builds of 10 unfortunately which will be a long time before 2032 I'd imagine.

    My computer will run Windows 11, in fact, up until last month, I was running the pro version since Windows 11 was publicly offered. I hate it, from the Microsoft 365 ad in setup that will not allow removal, to the fact that every time there is an update, more crap gets installed. At the beginning of this month, I switched to Linux, every thing I need will run in it, including games I have bought, and they actually run better in Linux so there is no way I will be running Microsoft apps or Windows 11 again.

    Nope, Windows 11 catalyzed my switch to Linux full-time. The straw that broke the camel's back was removing the ability to move the taskbar to the side of the screen. The account requirement and MS services were annoying but as you say they could be worked around. But the anti-consumer stance of removing basic UI customization did it for me.
