I don’t really understand all the hate for 11. I use it at work and it’s fine. I prefer 10 and 7 but 11 doesn’t rile me up or anything (except the forced online account thing).
As a Linux user who is forced to use 11 for work, it's awful. Everything is super slow and laggy. Sometimes the left panel of the file explorer just doesn't load and I have to exit and reopen. And that's just after a couple of weeks of using it.
It shouldn't take 30 seconds to open explorer
Enterprise editions often have a lot of the garbage disabled
So does the pro version, at least for 11. Most people's complaints don't exist on my laptop, but every time I use someone else's windows computer I get hurt deep inside somewhere
For me it was Microsoft's support for genocide in Palestine.
You want to support that?
It's a shame you're getting downvoted for a simple opinion. Clearly people still think this is reddit.
I downvoted because not understanding the hate for windows 11 is really just due to ignorance at this point. I mean, not everyone is a power user, but windows has been on the steady decline for at least 10 years now. Enshittification isn't some new concept.
My Microsoft surface kept having my issues with my thunderbolt dock - screen flicker on occasion. Swap the dock, same problem. Get a new 3k Lenovo laptop, problem is gone except after some undefined amount of time my mouse and keyboard temporarily disconnect. Like for .5 seconds. Sometimes this causes my keys to repeat ("Hi, howwww are you doing" for example)
Both docks did not have this issue with the mac I was using for work lol.
Both laptops, when windows asks for my pin the pin window has no taskbar icon, it's the default no icon image.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. So many little glitches I've been dealing with.
Windows 11 can lick a twat.
Careful now, that opinion isn’t allowed round these parts.
And yet you need a forced online account for android or apple and you gladly do that.
I don't know why you are so insistent that everyone who mentions Windows is using a online account, but you actually do not need a google account to use an android device in most cases. I have been using android phones with no logged in account, with side loaded app stores and independent apps for years. Maybe the mainline flagship devices enforce it; I haven't had that problem personally.
Google would really like to crack down on installing software without their permission, and they still track every bit of information they can with the Google Play API even without an account, but I digress. I haven't had a google account in several years. Or a Microsoft account either, for that matter.
Same. We have it on several hundred computers, and I can't really say it is any more trouble than 10. It has its annoyances to be sure, but no more than any other OS I've worked with. Maybe the work versions are just better, but I've not seen any issues with family PCs either.
I think maybe the root of the conflict is that it only works if you are fine with Microsoft's "design" choices... cloud accounts, one drive integration, taskbar on bottom, etc., and many people on this platform prefer a much higher degree of control over the OS.
Grouping these three things together and then labelling the group 'design choices' is wild
