I'd be curious to see the win 11 share without mandated corporate upgrades. As in, if you leave users a choice, do they want or even care about win 11?

Windows 11 is objectively the better system, it just has too much garbage as well.

Succinct and accurate. Really wish people were more objective and less polarized on software.

If given the choice I think a lot of people would have been happy sticking with even older versions.

I figured when work replaced my machine with a new laptop with Windows 11, I'd give in and upgrade my Windows boxes, but I hate it so much. The UI is a confused mess and it's so buggy and slow, even on a brand new machine with 32GB of RAM. Just getting around file Explorer feels like the entire machine is coated in molasses. It's like using a 300 baud modem and I am typing faster than the characters can go. I feel like I am always waiting for files to load, I forget why I even opened an app.

My main machine has been on Linux for a couple years already and Waydroid let's me run proprietary apps. I'll probably give up on PC gaming and get a new PS5.
