"Windows 11 is simply OK. There's nothing particularly wrong with it except for its hardware requirements."

Wtf? It's just ok? It's a resource hog, excelling at one thing: spyware implementation.

Have you seen the new Taskbar? It has the functionality of a wooden stick. They even had to make a damn patch to put the "Start Task Manager" option back in the context menu! They fucked up the menus and now everything is just "several hundred clicks away".

And their constant push for subscription based shit is just annoying like hell.

L.E. typo

Linux Desktop is the future, might as well start to get familiar with it now, why wait?

Just like Linux is the great leader in server space.

Unfortunately for work I have to use Windows.

That comment in the article made me wonder how long this person has been using computers, and whether he has seen anything other than Windows 10 and 11. If you've only seen 10, then 11 seems like a bland, slightly shittier OS, but if you have a broader experience you probably find 11 to be a bloated, slow, ad ridden piece of crap.

Because these reviewers probably never even used anything except windows, so an operating system that spies on and tracks the user is normal to them.
