I've been using Ubuntu for over a decade. I actually have to uninstall Windows 11 when I buy a new computer. I first take a couple of minutes to check it out and wow, it is so terrible. Ads, and over tuned UI. Everything is online now. The need for programs compatible only with Windows is long gone.

Anecdotally, I seen many of my coworkers switch from Dell to Mac and we're almost exclusively a dotnet shop. The only thing stopping me from 11 is low disk space but it's really just a matter of time. Pretty sure I'll follow on to mac

I haven't fully switched over, though I will soon. I daily drive a Mac laptop though I don't want to be totally locked into Apple's ecosystem, and sadly there's one software package I absolutely must use Windows for. Apparently Windows 11 LTSC is largely not enshittified so I'll give that a go for the Windows-only app.

I use NTLite to strip out Microsoft's shit, and keep Windows updated without silently reinstalling said shit, though I shouldn't have to do this.

Once Microsoft tries to force the media PC to upgrade, which happily sits on Windows 10, I'll be using it as a test-bed for Linux, likely SteamOS (despite technically not supporting this).

Valve has a huge opportunity to take a significant portion of Windows' market share in promoting SteamOS as a Windows alternative, and hopefully fixing the 'Linux on Desktop' problems Linus Torvalds himself has long lamented about: https://youtu.be/Pzl1B7nB9Kc

The sooner you switch away the better. Yes, it’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s a hassle you deal with once, unlike the gimmicky bullshit Microsoft adds to Windows every few years in a desperate attempt to boost sales.

Just call it Windows Assistant Copilot's Assistant+ ES Edition.

ES = Enshittified.
