    I reckon we’ll get another year out of it, and I also think within a year, there will be plenty of workarounds to make W11 usable for moderately tech savvy people like us

    The loudest voices shouting about how bad W11 is are always Linux users, especially on Lemmy

      If we had nothing to complain about, we’d still be using Windows. It’s why we aren’t.

        I’m still using windows and I’ve nothing to complain about; I know how to get it to work perfectly for me.

        Go to the Linux community and 70% of the questions are “how do I get this to work?”

        You definitely have a lot to complain about, and yous do, frequently. Most adults don’t have time to fanny about trying to get a program to work with their OS, so they’re happy with Mac or Windows

        If Linux was everyday-usable they’d have waaaaaay more than 4% market share by now, it’s been over two decades

          Linux Mint is easier to use, you don’t have to edit the sudoers file as well. Linux has limited marketshare because of its marketing. Companies aren’t interested in a OS for PCs (personal computers). It doesn’t need to be efficient or run well. They just care about keeping the agreements with Big Tech and that things work smoothly with one another (Microsoft working well in cloud/server/local) and that their enterprise software is running well. That goes along with close ties to Big Tech. Linux can reach major parts of the personal computer space, but it will need to do so without the help of Big Companies, which is a challenge.

          Go to any tech community and most of the questions are “how do I get this to work?”

          It’s why they made an account. Go to any Steam game community page, lmao. Linux isn’t exclusive on that one. They wouldn’t be posting if they didn’t have a question? It’s why they showed up.

          Do people go to Microsoft forums to hang out with their buddies?

          I know how good Linux is, it’s why I use it. I won’t be trolled out of using it because it’s too hard for you. I use it every day. I’m using it rn.

          You are conveniently forgetting that every Laptop that isn’t a Mac comes with Windows by default

      I actually liked some of the features that came with win11 but it was so bloated that it wouldn’t run that well on my old laptop.
