I've been reading about the problems that Windows 11 has had for years, from the safety of being on Linux for good after Recall was announced (and floundered like a fish out of water). I missed how just about any Linux Distro got out of my way and let me work in general peace. It let me know when updates were needed and waited until I decided to install them. Occasional donation asks (probably once or twice a year) to KDE, which I do not mind because they are open source and awesome, I donate due to their work in the Linux space! Sure, I've had occasional problems, but, there's been a solution for every issue I faced!

Windows 11 problems are directly caused by Microsoft insane desire to push AI into everything ( insane because it's dangerous and has no safety rails). Until Microsoft shift their OS and mentality in the right direction, those fundamental issues will never be solved (not that I would ever willingly use anything Microsoft made again after this fiasco).

I switched to Manjaro and it's like nothing has changed for the work I do now.

At work we use windows and I don't imagine that will ever go away. I don't know enough about this stuff anyway, but I think there is to much work and risk involved to change.
