I had an i7-7700, which somehow fell into a weird gap where win11 just wasn’t supported.

Held onto win10 for a while with it before upgrading in like October 2025. At that point I’d watched m$ blow it over and over, including the fiasco that is Recall in win11, not to mention all to copilot shit.

District hopped a little before landing on cachyos for now, which has been pretty great, and haven’t looked back.

Of all the big corpus, m$ is the one that pisses me off the most.

I do find this odd. I would never go back to Win10. I find Windows 11 far superior.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Liar.

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Deep. At least you spelled it correctly.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’re just literally the only person I’ve ever heard say this, so I guess I’m skeptical.

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not really surprised, Lemmy is a huge hater of Windows. I am running Win11 on three supported systems, and 2 unsupported systems and I haven't had a bsod since upgrading.

[–] jve@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My comment had nothing to do with Lemmy.

I haven't had a bsod since upgrading.

If this is the thing you think of as a way to talk it up, it’s worse than I thought.

I posted the benefits responding to another user.

Windows just works, the supported hardware base is unparalleled. It's been running my Plex server for 5+ years without incident. I have yet to find a hardware device that isn't compatible. It has touchscreen support. I like widgets, and yes I even use copilot from time to time.

It's has the majority marketshare. If you don't want to use it, then don't. But the facts are still the facts.

This is your sign. I don't know what kind of help you need, but go get it.

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

LOL. Operating systems aren't an ideology, they are a tool.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

And some tools are objectively worse than others. Windows 11 loses to Windows 10 in every area except for AI integration (if you can call this a loss), and security updates (which Microsoft arbitrarily stopped to force people to switch).

If Windows 10 is a screwdriver, then Windows 11 is a butter knife glued to a 10 lb weight and a flock camera that Microsoft chained to your hand when they stole your toolbox.

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago (10 children)

I very much disagree on that, along with millions of others. The only advantage Win10 has over Win11 is familiarity, otherwise known as learning curve. Reliability, snap layouts, widgets, improved file explorer, plus a really awesome phone integration environment. Add on top of that constant updates and upgrades and it isn't even a close comparison.
