It's unusable and they vibe coded the entire thing.

We had to switch back to windows 10 at work due to the issues we had with 11. Now my computer is permanently broken with many default applications that simply do not work and my IT department can't figure it out.

Oh no. They’ll still ignore it. They don’t care.

I'm not here to say get windows 11 but I did a fresh install several months ago when I got my 4090 off Facebook marketplace and I haven't had a problem yet. I just use it for gaming and don't really update my Nvidia drivers unless the hivemind says to. Idk that's my experience I guess.

If Windows crosses a the threshold of “major OEMs start shipping Linux,” what happens to windowscentral?

Do they split the staff/site to a linuxcentral? Winecentral?

I ignore them from Linux land. :)

I don't know if it's funny or frustrating that everything people are complaining about with Windows 11 are the exact same things we were complaining about with every previous version of Windows from 95 to 10: lack of control, limited configuration and bugs. Yes, Linux was super raw and difficult back then but we still switched and worked hard to make it better. I think all the articles encouraging people to switch today are missing simple "Thank you".

Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.

A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.
