Somewhere around the end of Windows 8, they fired all of their testers
Now they're using AI to make patches
It's been a steady decline, not a fast decline

My work machine forgot the resolution of my presentation monitor after the update. Love it
Biggest patch Tuesday ever!
That's only on the work PC so not really my problem
I see it’s the “shit on windows” time of the month again
It's a day that ends in "y".

I dusted off my 14 year old gaming pc, wiped windows 10 off it and installed Linux .int and hadn't looked back. Glad my PC wasn't eligible for a windows 11 upgrade...
I have to use cloud streaming for gaming, Shadow specifically (because it's the only one that can do mods, emulation and (though not specifically allowed but you gotta be a real idiot to get caught) pirating). While you can run it on most things (Linux and Android for me) the cloud computer is only Windows, and while I absolutely do not want to give any props or positive anything to Microsoft, I've had none of the issues with Win11 that have been reported throughout the years. This means nothing, obviously, as it's only a subjective experience and these things wouldn't be reported if they weren't real problems. I've just been surprised over and over that I've had absolutely no sign of anything I've seen so much about. No matter my experience though, fuck microslop.
Good thing I dont use Windoze 11
