W11 was the reason I quit dualbooting

Wah wah wah windows 11 same as windows 10 with menu centered it hurts my feelings I can’t use it anymore. Still no one gives any /actual/ reasons why windows 11 is bad. Just their hurt feelings.

  Let me guess, you believe the earth is flat, ai is intelligent, and windows 11 is godsend.

    Earth is round, and if you think ai isn’t going to be intelligent then you’re not intelligent yourself. Also don’t use windows daily but atleast I’m not an idiot “m$ bad cos reasons so I can whine on hacker news to my boyfriends in a circle jerk”

  The encroaching advertising is why I don't boot to 11 any more. Ads in everything from the launcher to office apps. Plus for some reason on this older Acer Nitro laptop Windows 11 spins up the fans like you wouldn't believe. Pop!OS they stay silent.

  Everyone is tired of hyper-MBA logic making everything so damned pushy. Everywhere, it's pushy designs, pushy notifications, pushy popups, pushy integrations, pushy reinstalls of programs you uninstall, pushy and second-guessing about everything you want to do that isn't someone else's plan for your computer. It's infuriating, and people hate it. But someone out there thinks it's leaving money on the table to not push everyone who will tolerate their pushiness deeper into their dependency. "Gosh this would be so easy if you'd just cave and make a $yetAnother account and your tie your wallet and entire identity to it. Aren't you sick of having to be told that over and over?" I feel the same about all of big tech right now. A bunch of pushy, self-important asses out to shakedown the fools who don't see them and immediately cross the street. And if you can't tell who I'm talking about, exactly.

  In w11 I can't set the toolbar to be vertical or to autohide anymore. I couldn't find a single reason they changed this. This has been basic functionallity for decades. It's a truly regressive update.

  Wah wah wah someone decided to move to Linux. They hurt my feelings. Use your Windows 11 with your ads, no one is stopping you.

    I use Linux not windows. But windows isn’t flooded with ads like people claim. Outside of the U.S. I’ve never seen ads.

  How about ads popping up in the system tray and no local user accounts to name two big ones. And my personal pet peeve, can't set taskbar buttons to never combine. It is the same as Windows 10, except less good.
