Saw something on programming.dev about some extra telemetry Windows 11 was adding or something like that? I forget. It was definitely something I think is bad, that people on programming.dev also think is bad. Then, despite having done registry edits and everything else I could think of to turn off auto Windows updates to make sure I would not get the bad new feature added in an update, my Windows 11 computer auto updated anyways. Got mad, wanted to switch to Linux, [asked !linux@programming.dev for help](https://programming.dev/post/18482370), and finally did it four months later, a few days before the new year started.

Two I know have all but commited to switching after seeing me be able to join them in basically everything we might want to play together.

They're just using their w10 installs until they inevitably need an OS reinstall, at which point they've said they'll have me over to set them up with whatever I've figured out works best at that point.
