Every single edition of Windows introduces new forms of bloat and new ways for MS to overreach and attempt to play corporate nanny over a user's system; why the fuck would anyone willingly upgrade Windows when they have the chance not to?

Win 11 is downgrade to Win 10, and I expect Win 12 to be a downgrade to Win 11. I still didnt decide whether Mint or Kubuntu will be the next OS on my pc. I'm pretty sure Windows 12 has no chance.

I like the UI of 11 but not the extra spyware

I wonder how I’d be considered. I use Steam on Linux on one computer, Windows 10 on another, and Mac on another. Maybe I get counted thrice.

pretty sure it's based off of which clients of yours got prompted to do the hardware survey

Both my windows and Linux client got prompted, but I declined the windows one. Most of my gaming happens on Linux nowadays

I’m one of the many. Hate where tech is headed, I remember hearing about Microsoft wanting to turn windows cloud based with a subscription. Hell no

Or, like me, still on Windows 7, they could just no longer use Steam. Lots of games I can still play on this OS or in my browser. Maybe someday I'll go back to Linux, or maybe even React, just for the hell of it.

I just use Windows 10 v1809 ltsc, I'm good for a few more years.

Just get Linux and run a Virtual machine if you want to Game on PC

I use Linux for everything, including gaming, but I have a VM with win11 for when I need ads in my os.
