Windows 10 gang here. If I wait a few years I'm sure 11 will be usable by the time 10 support ends.

Same with buying pc games.

I have little hope they’ll fix 11 in a year when 10 hits end of life. 11’s already been out 3 years…

I'd still be on 7 if it weren't for DirectXwhatever

Win11 might get "usable" in the same sense that 8.1 was "usable" closer to the end. It was still a turd. I'm sticking with my Windows10 install as long as I can, and later switching the gaming PC to Linux if necessary. Maybe even keep a partition or drive with 10 as a "retrobox" for when it's end of life. It's mostly old games that don't run well on Linux, anything more modern should be fine.

You'll be on linux by then.

Whatever is after 11 should be decent if the rule to skip every other windows holds up. I'm... Not as optimistic as I once was, but time will tell.
