This is why I'm always a few versions out of date, ever since they started bricking computers via Windows update. Keeps me clear of their horrifying AI and additional telemetry and adware "enhancements" too.
Windows 10 gang here. If I wait a few years I'm sure 11 will be usable by the time 10 support ends.
Same with buying pc games.
I'd still be on 7 if it weren't for DirectXwhatever
You'll be on linux by then.
Are you ready for the ads?
Whatever is after 11 should be decent if the rule to skip every other windows holds up. I'm... Not as optimistic as I once was, but time will tell.
Win11 might get "usable" in the same sense that 8.1 was "usable" closer to the end. It was still a turd. I'm sticking with my Windows10 install as long as I can, and later switching the gaming PC to Linux if necessary. Maybe even keep a partition or drive with 10 as a "retrobox" for when it's end of life. It's mostly old games that don't run well on Linux, anything more modern should be fine.
Don’t worry, Microsoft has been working hard to port all of the worst things from windows 11 into 10.
