Pretty telling when the only way you can get your users to "upgrade" is by stealth. I wonder what the % of involuntarily upgraded win11 users is vs people who knowingly and willingly did so.
I would've upgraded to 11, but either my computer doesn't support TPM or I just refused to turn it on. So instead I upgraded to Ubuntu. There are probably better distros but I had a limited about of time to fuck around trying them.
Mint is pretty nice, too. It felt familiar, as a windows user. But I kept installing stuff that broke the updater. So I switched and found it's me, not the updater, and I just need to do
apt update/upgradeanddpkg -iregardless, but anyway now I'm on Ubuntu.I still have my full windows install on an SSD somewhere if I had an emergency, but I haven't had any such emergency in about a year.
