    Yeah I don’t understand how there’s a whole article of “no one is using it” and the author then states “it’s OK, there’s nothing wrong with it”.

    If there’s nothing wrong with it, why is no one using it?

    Maybe because 11 is fucking awful. Maybe it’s the ads. Maybe it’s removing fuck tons of features for no apparent reason. Maybe it’s the fucking awful design choices.

    But no, the author just says “every decision has haters, people just hate it because it’s different”

      “it’s OK, there’s nothing wrong with it”

      This person probably uses corporate laptop connected to an Active Directory server which has disabled all the questionable features via group policy. Because that’s what I’m using.

        It was a shock using 11 pro after having been forced into using LTSC at work, they’re almost unrecognizable they’re so different.

      At the risk of being pilloried here….

      I’ve been using windows 11 at home and work for over a year now. It’s fine. I’ve not seen ads aside from easily removed links to apps (not even fully installed apps, just links to install them), I don’t see removed functionality. It’s not slow.

      It doesn’t make me cum, it’s also not terrible - it’s fine. Just like every windows except ME and early Vista.

      I like tabs in explorer and the new task manager. Dark mode notepad is nice. I got used to the start menu because across macOS and windows, I just keyboard shortcut -> completion match search to launch things.

      This is the same cycle I’ve seen since 98SE.
