I have windows 11 because it came with a new pc. The damn thing crashed so much it reminded me of bad windows from the old days. Don't get it YET if you don't have to.

Windows vista. Shudders
The only reason I got a Win11 computer at work is that the new box came with Win11 preinstalled.
Most work is still done on an aging Win7 box and my Linux laptop.
You will be shocked to learn that you can upgrade, for free, to Windows 12. It's called Linux.

they will try to force it for people that isnt saavy enough to use another OS,.
Microsoft's new OS has never been a concern of mine. I still have a windows XP, Vista, and windows 7 PC's. They all work fine but zero security updates of course. You don't need to upgrade your OS and most people will simply just keep windows 10 instead up buying a new computer.
I'm just going to setup dual boot with linux since i have some modding and custom software that only works on windows.
