    I totally misread the title 😭 That is a very deceptive title. These are problems he noticed in Windows 11, not Linux.

      On first glance, I understood the title as saying there were nine problems in Win11; it might be ambiguous but I don’t think it’s fair to label it as very deceptive.

      That’s how I read it first time, I don’t see how it’s misleading. I think everyone knows that Windows isn’t ready for the desktop.

      I ditched A for B, and i found a few problems. Obviously the problems are with B.

        That’s how I understood it, but you could read it as saying the author’s experience with Win11 revealed problems with his previous setup (i.e. Linux).

          You could, but that’s obviously not the default way those sentences are to be read

      The Mailbird issue isn’t really a Windows problem either.

      But I’ll totally give him the OneDrive bullshit.

        It was installed in the Microsoft app store. It’s definitely their problem.

        All the packages in the default Debian repos are verified. Malware that covers the screen in ads and locks up the computer (intentionally) would never make it into the Linux repos.

        No, but he explained that the problem would have been easier to solve on Linux.

        Not sure it would have been for a normal computer user though; I for one know how to SSH on my homeserver, but I don’t know how to do that on my desktop Linux.
