So with zero first hand experience then? You're refusing to upgrade based on memes and conjecture alone.
Sure, you're well within your right to do so, but it's not a great system to live life by. People are far more vocal about bad experiences than good ones. Windows 11 has been awesome for me, and as a developer and gamer, I'm on my PC and Mac far longer than the average user. I've not had any issues with windows 11 since it came out; the issues with the start menu and whatnot. It feels like it's cool nowadays to moan about Microsoft products when the reality just doesn't reflect those complaints.
Try it out for yourself. It's actually a really good OS: I prefer it over MacOS Sonoma anyday. My dad, who is 'afraid' to touch computers in fear of breaking them, told me just last night how much easier Win11 is to use than Win10.
If after all that you still hate it, well, at least then you've made an informed decision!
I have it on my work PC, I was talking about not installing it on my home PC.
That's great, but there are valid concerns about other people's use cases
I can't install it on my laptop because it has a hard drive. Immediately not something you can use - it scans files out of the box, making the system unusable. It doesn't let you just disable it without taking drastic steps, but disabling some features requires group policy. If you use some hacks to disable things, randomly other things break. For example, disabling the firewall breaks Windows Update (?!)
The last good version was Windows 7 where you could actually do 99% of things you wanted with Home edition without any issue.
just because you like it doesn't mean I have to enjoy using the spyware and windows 11 has been way worse for gaming then 10
My computer is 11 and I hate it more than any previous windows. Each newer version of windows removes features that previous ones had and makes customizing more and more annoying to do. Now that the Steam Deck has got me used to Linux, I wont be coming back to Windows whenever I upgrade my desktop
