That’s only because I left for Linux.
It was forced on to my computer.
You always had the choice to install Linux, and still do. Dont let them control your PC.
Yeah my corpo laptop will update to 11 on July 10th. I’m going to be testing out in house app on Linux with an older corpo laptop soon

Tarball detected, would you like to xzf?
What’s even the difference? Same shit, a bit JS added.
More telemetry, more AI.
And they moved the start menu.
You can move it back. My forced on me win11 looks a lot like my win10.
Not saying I like it, it’s owned and controlled by the employer, but with a little work some of the shitty pointless default UI changes can be minimized.
Right, but my point is that it’s change for the sake of change, not to improve things. It’s the same old Windows, but with some downgrades like telemetry and stupid defaults.
No Internet Explorer (replaced by probably JavaScript app)
Edge.
And it’s dog shit too.
… And it sucks
Unless we are all techies we don’t have much to switch to.
There’s plenty of tutorials on YouTube to walk you through installing all the major linux distros. And distros like mint are pretty streamlined now. It’s pretty straight forward. And there’s a good community here that is always willing to help.
I found Mint rather simple to install. That said, I am a techie. I am using several different distros in my house, but I wanted to live in Mint for a while to see how well a non-techie might fare. My reasoning was that since Ubuntu (Mint’s parent) is rather ubiquitous, there is more development and more attention paid to support and troubleshoot issues. So far, so good. Yes, being tech literate does help, but I think a non-techie could live with Linux. And over time, the environment will become more known like Windows is now.
I don’t have a significant need to use a laptop or desktop as my phone is my primary computing device. With that said, I run Mint Debian Edition on my laptop. Just because I want my computer to work when I go to use it, even if it has been six months.
I’m not a RedHat fan (actually very explicitly not a fan), but frankly Fedora with Gnome seems as problematic as Windows at worst, and very easy to install.
