If we're going to be together you're going to have to use Arch. Thx.

What, you don't LFS?
Noob.
There is a difference between punishment and cruel torture.
This squarely falls into the latter category.
My girlfriend got a new PC and asked me if she should upgrade to windows 11 and I responded with "I guess?"
I will never forgive myself for what I unknowingly inflicted upon her.
I upgraded from a 1080Ti to the 3080 12GB. The biggest improvements was only after switching from Win10 to 11.
Tbh the biggest hassle we've encountered is a .NET framework cmd window that will sporadically pop up and take focus away from the current window. I've done some searching and attempted some things with no avail. If it were mine I'd probably have reformatted and started fresh by now but that's a hassle when she's trying to get work done.
I wonder if there's a tech support community here that would be able to able without resorting to such drastic measures.
Upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 was very easy but there is a lot of left over junk from the previous install.
A clean format is probably the best thing to do.
No shit I just had a nightmare last night that my computer installed W11 by itself against my will and it’s the first and scariest nightmare I’ve had in years.
Imagine thinking Windows 10 is a punishment.
This tweet is so old that I remember seeing it on Windows 10's release
Imagine think it isn't...
I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't realize it yet.
Buddy, I've been using Windows 10 since its release in 2015. In spite of Windows' quirks, Microsoft's shittiness sometimes, and gasp having to pay for it, 10 is a fine operating system. I'm not nearly the kind of person who flops on the floor kicking and crying anytime a new piece of software or hardware is created. I loved the Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Windows 7 and 10, and I give Microsoft Edge the credit it's due for where it's pretty decent. I defend the flawed Windows Vista and 8 as important in-betweens on the path to better OS's. Windows 11 on the other hand... still kinda sucks. Because I try to be fair in all things.
Speaking of being fair in all things, Linux doesn't function as well as Windows and has many more problematic quirks-- some of them quite laughable-- and that's the truth. Android (which is not Linux) is also a mess, but at least it doesn't struggle with its hardware.

First, Android is Linux, it's just locked down. Install Termux to get a better look.
Second, what do you mean it doesn't function as well? There was an article I saw recently that tested performance of games on Windows and Linux, and Linux performed 12% faster I think. Somewhere around that number. Updating software is a hell of a lot easier too. There's so many features that are better. Then you also get to customize how it looks, which is nice. This is dependent on your DE, but there's tons of options, from nearly identical to whatever windows version you like to something totally new. It's up to you, not some company. Again, I don't know what you mean by "perform" so I don't know how to respond, but it likely does perform better, whatever your definition.
Linux literally doesn't work with your hardware half the time, that's what I mean "doesn't function as well". If you are going to argue that that is simply untrue, kindly reconsider under the assumption that you're not going to change any opinions. I had mainstream AMD and MSI hardware and literally couldn't get the sound working in Ubuntu. Ever. And that was just me. Have a good day.
Half the time? I doubt it. Every system I've installed Linux on its worked fine. Sure, sometimes it won't and that sucks. It's free though, with no promises. If it works then great. If it doesn't then nothing of value was lost. If it works, then it probably works better than Windows, and it works most of the time.
God most Linux fans are such liars. Same as most vegans, and also people who wear atheism on their sleeve
Lol. You think I'm lying? What about? That it's worked on every system I've tried or that it's free?
I love how you can assume someone else's personal experience is a lie just because it doesn't support your opinion. How ignorant of you.
If it works, then it probably works better than Windows, and it works most of the time.
It is well-documented to definitely not. But I don't need to argue with you further.
"...I think I've been naughtier than that. I really neeeeed you to punish me."
"Okay." aborts the installation and begins installing Windows 8
