windows quality has seemingly took a nosedive after 7 and never recovered. glad to have left.
If windows 7 was still supported it would be my go to for the rare “I need windows” moments. Windows 11 seems sluggish to me
windows 11 is just ridiculous. it's slow even on state of the art computers, takes 6-8gb of ram just to idle on the damn desktop.
I got my father onto Linux a while ago and the first thing he commented on was how snappy the whole system was
Same thing for one of my grandparents.
It would be fun if your next "I need Windows" OS was ReactOS and have less problems than using Windows.
I thought 10 was fine too, didn't like the new menu bullshit though. I use Arch by the way.
10 was the last windows version i dailied on my personal machine. the whole forced update fiasco had made me lose work, and was the writing on the wall for shitty things that came after.
