Some people stay on previous versions though and that means less of a base to send advertisements to

It’s not a worry of people going to Linux, it’s a worry of people staying on 10 instead of going to 11

As a lifelong windows user, 10 is my last windows, I've heard nothing but garbage from those I know running win11.

I will be switching, it's just a matter of distros, better support for gaming/vr/drivers etc.

I've been messing around with Ubuntu on an Orange Pi 5 and so far, apart from gnome (even with extensions) I'm really pleased and feel much more in control of my hardware.

The moment I heard of ads in the start menu on 11 I vowed it won't happen, and yet the bing bar showed up on my desktop last week after am update. Needless to say I've already been into the registry to fix that issue, but yes, that basically sums up how I feel, and I know most I know feel the same re: MS Windows at this point.
