Holy hell, does every Windows 11 device require touch-based input soon or what?

Looks like they still haven't learned their lesson from the Windows 8 days...

I have never actually used windows 8 but I was on a Win 2012 R2 server earlier today and it's much much worse than Windows 11. So they have learned something at least.

Same here. I skipped that version of Windows. To me it felt like they simply turned 7 into a tablet focused piece of shit.
