Then im forced to use windows at work and get locked into a 45 minute forced update.

Not to mention how horribly slow win11 is even on 64 gb ram and an i7.

And the bloatware. Never seen so much bloat (and ai slop shit) ever before. And start menu ads. Yay.

How do people use this trash!

    I was raised in the xp/windows 7 era. I switched to Arch Linux this year and have never been more satisfied with my computer. If i get stuck, the wiki and other nerds are happy to come to the rescue.

      XP was my last dual-boot. XP really wasn’t bad. I always feel like I dodged a the Vista bullet.

        I loved XP, but i havent used it since i was like 13. I kept it well into the vista era. That pc finally died right before windows 8. That one pissed me off. It was so clearly meant for tablets and still being crammed into non-touch screens
