Way too late, at least for me.
I've switched over to CachyOS on three devices. My main laptop, a spare laptop(for the wife to try), and a gaming PC. All three are great and easy to use. No stupid pop ups, no AI, and I don't have to worry about it not booting up compared to Windows(which this was the opposite 10 years ago!).
At this point even if they make a great OS and call it Windows 12 I have zero faith that they won't reverse and make Windows 13 terrible.
At least with Linux I have a dozen or so options to choose from and they all work just fine. So if CachyOS becomes terrible(doubt) then I'll switch to something else.
At this point Windows needs to go above and beyond and be stable for YEARS and multiple versions before I switch back, which big doubt.
It's definitely fucking not doing that. It may say that it's going to work hard on it's problems but like any 'too big to fail' monopolistic piece of shit company, they're going to continue doing whatever the fuck they want and ignoring their end users.
lmao. microflop is outdated, dusty and crusty.
Good luck.
