I said it before, and I say it again. Once I am forced to switch to win 11, I'm not doing so. I'm simply switching to Linux.
Windows has been on a downward spiral and I don't see that improving anytime soon
I only use windows for gaming, linux for everything else and have been for many years. I upgraded from windows 10 to windows 11 and had zero issues. It actually is starting to look better as well.
That said, more and more games run just fine on Linux now so I probably won’t need a dualboot system anymore at some point.
I've been using Linux full time for about a decade. Gaming, video editing, everything.
I was forced back onto Windows when I started a new job. I genuinely tried to give it a chance. I ended up triggering a company-wide policy change to allow Linux and Mac employee systems. I'm back on Linux with a sigh of relief.
That time was when I was forced to switch from Windows 7. I switched to Linux, found that I can do there most things I usually do on a computer anyways, and never looked back. It reached to the point that someone had to give me an entire SDD with a windows installation just to coax me to use Windows 10. I rarely touch it nowadays, and every time I do, I end up being frustrated with it.
