Unpopular opinion: Win 11 works well for me, and is visually better than Win 10. Although it's a fairly recent PC. Although if they keep pushing more telemetry and ads, I'm moving over to Ubuntu.
Its the small things on Windows 11 for me. Like the "more options" section on the right click.. that must have been added just to annoy people. It's where all the good options are.
Otherwise, seems to run fine.
That's a big issue for me, though. I really value being able to do simple tasks quickly with minimal effort and the fewest clicks, it allows me to focus my attention on the actual thing I'm trying to do. Clicking through multiple submenus unnecessarily infuriates me.
As someone from a developing country, windows 11 contributes to higher digital inequality because of its unnecessary high hardware requirements. If they don't support windows 10 for a long time, we will suffer a great toll.
And unfortunately, people around here barely use linux and developed quite a repulsion for it, which only makes things worse for ourselves...
It's hard not to hate microsoft when we live on the ugly side of capitalism.
