Microsoft keeps releasing new versions of Windows.

They say each version is better than the previous one.

Is there some truth to this ? Or is this mostly marketing bullshit to push people to spend money?

    Personal Opinion

    Windows 10 and 11 are the worst so far, though I didn’t fall on the Win 8 dagger.

    Windows 10: Forced OneDrive, always running-but beyond useless Cortana

    Windows 11: See above, plus we did everything we could to hide interface options (right-click copy/paste is now hidden behind another click)

    I switched to Bazzite a few months ago, and so far the only game I’ve had issues with is Fallout 4, single digit frame rate, but ymmv.

      I haven’t had forced OneDrive on Windows 10, or Cortana.

      It comes with shit installed that it shouldn’t, but every thing I have uninstalled, has stayed that way.

      Other than the shitty settings menu, Windows 10 ended up okay. You just had to tweak and work around some things, which you will be doing with Linux too.

      Windows 11, on the other hand, is a complete pile of shit. I dual boot Linux now and use Windows less and less.

      I’ve never seen OneDrive forced on Win10.

      It’s an option, it’s there by default, but you don’t have to use it. I never have (used the default stuff), and I use OneNote heavily with my PC, iOS, and Android, which requires sync to OneDrive - which I setup later with a user account unrelated to the account on my PC.
