I am in no way disagreeing that Windows 11 is a shit show, and wildly less secure than Linux, but realistically as bad as it is, it's still going to have less open and known vulnerabilities than Windows 7.
lol, for every vuln they patch, they add two more. One by accident, and one for the fed.
They absolutely do put on government backdoors, but most people aren't going to be personally targeted by that, but they are likely to get hit with non-fed malware, like keyloggers to steal accounts, botnets, identity theft, etc.
Not that it justifies it, fuck Microsoft, but you get what I mean?
