Honest question. Is there some particular reason why people are against 11? Except the usual reasons people are against windows?

[–] underscores 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The big one is W11 now requires a TPM chip, so tons of computers will stop getting updates soon, with no way to upgrade.

And they keep getting worse with a bunch of annoyances, like more ads, trying to force ai, making it harder to avoid a microsoft account, and getting rid of ways to customize the desktop layout.

I will have to buy a new pc anyway soon, so I don't mind that. But I understand the other reasons. I'm hoping I will find a way to customize the desktop, as it is important to me. Not to mention blocking ads.
