and all the things they say are for security are just to spy on you ,LOL
I’m moving to Mint, soon, so windows can burn for all I care.
I was about to reply that hot new computer is running wonderfully, but then I realized I was running Linux Mint on that device.
Glad I’m still on Windows 7, one laptop is on W10 Pro which is okay.

With 11 my camera only works half the time.
Doing diagnostics is useless.
Windows is spying on you and most people will not even know this. When Bitlocker shows up because of some problem most will not know their microsoft account or the bitlocker key. They have now lost everything on that pc.
BTW Microsoft has a master key and can turn it over to the police etc. but they will not use it to help you get into your pc to get your files, just the police.
Windows 11 Bitlocker isn’t there to Protect YOU

I have Paralles on my Mac with Windows 11 for the times I need Windows apps.
The Amish were right.
Theses dorks don’t know what a man and a woman are so what do you expect?

Any software subscription exposes you to “updates” that cripple you on Tuesdayand take ‘til Friday to kinda fix.
It has always been this way, but the sheep still flock to fling their money at the software companies peddling this caca.
Like my unixes.
Wife on Linux Mint. She likes it.
A couple of raspberry Pi4 machines running the Pi Linux.
Four FreeBSD machines , one doing the heavy lifting, the rest doing light duty.
One old Thinkpad T40 laptop running NetBSD. It’s a 32-bit machine I’m nursing along but it is basically obsolete. Gonna hold a wake for it when I turn it off the last time. (I could run Freedos on it - maybe.)
Hate running windows. I’m an old command-line warrior and windows just gets in my way. Flushed it 35 or 40 years ago and haven’t looked back.
That doesn’t count the job machines. When they broke I’d call the support guy and tell him “Hey come on down and fix this piece o’ shit. Got coffee on.” He was fun, understood windows support is job security.
I don't use Microsoft 365. LibreOffice instead.
got blamed by Nvidia today as the latest Patch Tuesday is leading to performance issues in games.
I don't use Nvidia (Ryzen integrated graphics instead), and do not play computer games.
issues are related to XAML and this impacts all the Shell components like the Start Menu, Taskbar, Explorer, and Windows Settings.
I use Explorer patcher which enables customized W/10 Taskbar and Open Shell for the Start Menu. And have delayed/not upgraded from 23H2 to the latest W/11 version.
Best to wait till bugs are worked out.
My cat videos are still good.
