My work computer had to be upgraded to 11

Why does my fucking file explorer stop responding so much?

I don’t understand how they fucked this up so badly

This happens every time there’s a new windows version

My work computer is on W11. Notifications got much worse, and moved to a harder-to-reach shortcut. There’s a persistent bug with maximization, in which many forms of apps will suddenly take over the region normally reserved for the taskbar (no, I’m not referring to full screen modes) that so far as I can tell can only be fixed by logging out.

The UI is worse, making settings pages even more confusing. Windows Explorer has dived deep into iconography, while still not being clear about what those icons mean. The new context menus are missing options, so they need an extra one to go back to W10’s options.

This is of course setting aside their blatant lies about “It’s not spyware we promise we promise”, among so many other hundreds of problems. I’m doomed to stay on W10 for now to finish a project, but afterwards, I’ll be finding a distro I prefer.

I mean, who wants to buy a brand-new computer to be able to run Windows 11 anyway? Besides,most folks aren’t tech-savvy or care enough to go through the hoops just to install this dumpster fire of an OS.

I moved to Linux thanks to their enshittification. I’m kicking myself I didn’t do it years ago. Linux is how an OS should be.

Windows convinced me to upgrade to Linux :D

*Downgrade

Win 11 is a downgrade.

I converted to Linux as soon as one of the shit Windows 11 updates bricked my 5-year old laptop that was working fine previously.

Kubuntu 4 lyfe! ✌️🤪

They can’t convince me to switch to Win 11 because apparently my computer isn’t good enough.

ASTER

I have win 11. I only use it as a steam game machine and sometimes vr games.

If I’m ever required to reformat I’ll probably try IoT Enterprise LTSC. Unsure how video game friendly the version is though.

I’m one of the few whose laptop is about 10 years old so it needs replacing. Most likely a new laptop will be preloaded with windows 11. Do they sell laptops pre-loaded with Linux?

• Worse drivers.
• More bloat.
• More “telemetry” (spyware and adware).
• It breaks a ton of the systems I’ve had to implement by sheer force.

Why the FUCK would I do that? Just to give microsoft more money? Go and FUCK yourself.

I mean, it’s windows 10, but worse

• If you have 8gb or less of RAM, it’s constantly swapping and trash your SSD

• It always needs to automatically install the fucking updates in the background hogging the CPU and SSD time when you actually need to work/play

• When they introduce bugs, they take years to fix them. The taskbar took 3 years to be restored to features that were present since windows 95. One year ago they introduced a new bug that with some display port monitors, when it goes in standby, the resolution switches for a second to 640*480, trashing all windows and desktop layout, super infuriating. Probably this will be fixed in windows 12

Plus with all their decision to force people to trash millions of perfectly working computers… I know many they just give up on personal computers and just use phones/tablet as it’s enough for them
