I have windows 11 on my new computer and it sucks. I think windows 7 was the last one where I didn't think it sucked to use. Even just setting up my computer with windows 11 was a pain in the ass, since they make you have an internet connection and use their garbage windows account system. Microsoft is such a trash company.

I didn’t need an account to image a computer with windows as long as there’s no internet. It just boots me right into the desktop once I finish the setup and skip the account registration

Windows 8.1 was all right if you could tolerate the giant tiles start screen bullshit -- adding multiple desktops was a good move, and brought it up to parity with like 1985-vintage AmigaOS or 2008ish GNOME/Wayland. It performed OK, too, since it threw out all the Aero transparency effects that would burn GPU cycles just sitting on the desktop. Unfortunately, 8 also marked the beginning of breaking up the Control Panel apps into touchscreen-friendly counterparts with missing functionality, and 8.1, 10, and 11 have definitely doubled down on that.
