11 and also edge. They still care a lot whether people use their stuff. The whole reason behind WSL was to stop the Exodus of cloud developers to running Linux on their laptops (though most of them at my work still prefer it over WSL)

Is there a reason to not switch?

  It requires TPM, and for a while AMD's software TPM implementation was buggy and caused stutters. That got me to push back my update to 11 to 'at least a year from now'; I don't want to suffer a bug while waiting for a BIOS patch if there's another issue like that.

  Well, there are features missing. Given how every monitor in existence is wide , it's super odd you can't drag the taskbar to the side, it's bottom only. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-explains-why-you-cant-move-windows-11-taskbar https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-explains-why-you-ca... The Win 11 context menu is just irritating, it displays a lot of unnecessary things and the "real" context menu is hidden under "show more options" You can see much more at https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/ https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/ -- and this project fixes them, too.

  They removed support for lots of perfectly adequate and capable hardware. There are no legit reasons for this, and I would say for e-waste concerns it probably enters into unethical territory.
