Since when has windows 11 been deprecated? After windows 7 I switched to Linux and all I hear is new windows is around the corner and even worse! How does this company even keep customers, when all they do is upgrade their windows?!

Microsoft only ever sticks to every other distribution of Windows because those are the ones that suck the least.

XP > good Vista > bad 7 > good 8 > nightmare nightmare nightmare 10 > good 11 > bad

Tho if 12 is subscription based this will change obv.

Honestly I like Windows 11 better than Windows 10. I mean I don't like or use either one, but if I had to I'd go with 11 (with debloat script, Powertoys, WSL2 and blocking telemetry with DNS as much as possible)

This is subjective of course but I prefer both the visual and sound theme of Win11 (I despised Win10 in both regards). Plus it has some additional nice qol features like, I think, tabs in explorer?

Anything after 7 is bad in my eyes. I HATE the direction Windows went with the UI style, doing away with the Vista and 7 Aero look. Plus Windows 10 drives me up the wall trying to find the proper settings (is it Settings or Control Panel? Why do we have both?!).

[–] moog@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

7 was the GOAT but i use 10 now and its almost indistinguishable from what i remember from 7 after tweaking some settings. I do agree that finding your settings can be annoying af.

Moving settings around is just user hostile behavior. Fucking psychos.

Someone once explained to me that Windows is like the Star Trek movies - every other one ia good.

You skipped 8.1, which was good.

[–] moog@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago
