Windows 11 coerced me into being an Ubuntu user.

I just went through those weasel-worded Windows 11 setup questions three times while configuring a laptop for a family member, then twice had to figure out how to dodge it demanding a Microsoft account, after which I needed to remove all the bloatware and change various defaults. My own laptop with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has been a delight to use by comparison.

Also, the Windows 11 Start menu still doesn't work half the time.

Windows XP did that for me.
