I have been a huge Microsoft fan for ages, I loved my windows phone, and my Zune HD. This is the first time I haven't updated my OS to 11. Not that I love 10, but I fear that 11 is going to be more aggressive with all the things I dislike about 10. Mostly around ads, notifications, and generally feeling like my computer belongs to them. I've been on OSX the last few weeks while I'm developing a iOS app. I don't love it. But I don't fear it either. I would love to have a linux OS where IO devices (screens, cameras, etc) just work. My co-founder is on linux and is constantly messing with microphone, camera, etc not being picked up on linux, and having to mess around with settings to get things to work.

Felt the same way. Unfortunately went to 11 due to really desiring WSL(g) and Wi-Fi 6E 6Ghz support. The thing is I like a lot about the OS. But it's ruined for the reasons you mention. Such a shame.

  I did the same thing. Waited and waited and waited for WSL(g), and then had to move to Windows 11. Even Office is terrible the way it defaults to saving your files on OneDrive. Why am I suddenly uploading all my documents to Microsoft?

    Agreed I'm getting really tired of it taking 10 clicks to just get the traditional file dialog.... Sigh.

"I would love to have a linux OS where IO devices (screens, cameras, etc) just work." That's been my experience with Linux Mint, for years now. Try it out on a Live USB and see if your hardware works with it.
