Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.
No. I once accidentally installed the update, but immediately returned to 10, when I saw how it looks. But I imagine, with some settings and add-ons I can make it look like 10.
The issue is not with the appearance. It’s the fact that microsoft keeps pushing AI into everything. The settings app is still shit and missing control panel functionality. There is more to say but these are the main issues afaik.
In addition to the front facing AI features, these days Windows 11 is less an operating system and more a ‘suck as much data about this person to train our AI models as we can get away with’.
Windows Recall is one of their AI solutions they’re pushing onto people which would screenshot everything on your system in order to assist users in searching through previous desktop interactions and whatnot.
Security researchers are highly against the rollout of this ‘feature’ as it uses AI and the previous betas have shown that Microsoft is incapable of ensuring the prevention of abuse from malicious users.
Ex: a user entering in their credit card information for an online transaction would have that information stored as an indexable/searchable piece of information by a malicious outsider.
Microsoft has yet to show competance in their abilities to prevent the creation of such a wide attack surface.
Honest question. Is there some particular reason why people are against 11? Except the usual reasons people are against windows?
Have you seen what microsoft is pushing on 11??

Edit: shoving AI down your throat
And this all besides all the other already present points to shit on Microsoft like the data collection
