> If you don’t like the toxicity of Microsoft in windows 11, why were you okay with it with Windows 10? Who says I was? It just came with the computers I bought / was given by my employer(s) in recent years. But they'd said that was it; we were supposed to be done with all that once and for all. So why shouldn't I be annoyed at having them spew their toxicity at us all over again? > And yes, people who won’t upgrade because “the UI changed/got worse” grind my gears. That just shows that you refuse to learn and adapt. Why should we have to? What's the use of "learn and adapt" when there's scarce-to-none actual improvement in return?

If you were given computers by your employer for work then the OS isn’t your problem. You are paid to use and adapt to the OS. If you don’t want to do that job you should go flip burgers. If you bought computers from your employer and you want to change the OS go ahead and do so. I’m not criticizing the person who does that. But whining about the OS on that machine makes you look bad because you’re the one who chose to buy the computer. If you don’t like the OS that’s on it go why did you buy the computer? Nobody twisted your arm to buy your employer’s computer. Again, Windows users complaining about their computer having Windows and then continuing to use Windows is tired and annoying. They complained about ever major version and once they were finally forced by EOL to use the newest version the newest version became their favorite. All the “Windows 10 will leave my cold dead hands” people said the same thing about Windows 7 and Windows XP. And again, my argument was that people who don’t want to learn and adapt just claim there’s scarce to no improvement because they don’t have any willingness to discover those improvements because the initial adaptation is a dealbreaker for them. They’ll go to their graves saying that Windows XP was the best Windows OS ever while hand waving over all of its flaws and limitations. So, have fun having worse battery life because your laptop doesn’t support dynamic display refresh rate, having a worse content experience because your OS doesn’t support HDR properly even though your monitor does, having less secure slower WiFi because your OS doesn’t support WiFi 7 and WPA3, having a cluttered work environment because file explorer doesn’t support tabs, needing to install third party programs to unarchive tar and 7zip formats, and the list of feature additions you’re missing out on goes on and on. I guess those improvements are scarce to none because by not using them they must not exist. A tree in the woods doesn’t fall down if you aren’t there, right?
