generally, what will happen is that there will continue to be an uproar amongst a decent % of windows users regarding win 11. But people will just accept it continue using Windows. just like with Vista and win 8. Spyware etc will become the norm, there was some on Win 10 too. Some people will even check out certain linux distros out of curiosity but will then switch back to windows. Linux has remained at 2% market share for aaaaages, and only went up to 4% due to steam decks and popularity in India.
Final nail in the coffin for the w11 requirements, it ran almost flawlessly on an 07 laptop that had a vista oem key on it, 2gb ram, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2
Losing windows to enshitification is like losing an elderly relative to dimensia. They're still there but they arent the same and they never will be. I still keep windows around but it's in a virtual machine where it cant be a danger to itself or others. Sad really.
I've used Windows part time since 1.0 Full time in 3.1 (34+ years experience) They have pulled off many half baked ideas over the years however when Vista came out they started to get bad, and now they have gone over the edge even with non techies. Since I no longer use Adobe the only thing that has got me chained to Windows was gaming, but that is changing thanks to proton now out of the 450+ games I got on Steam only 12 are still not working on Linux, but at this point when 2025 comes in It's going to be "F it I'm done with it". Thing is even back in the late 90's I dabbled in Linux, and during the Windows 8 debacle I actually switch it full time, but went back after Windows 10 for my games. Thank to Valve pushing proton it's much easier. Also Nvidia is now starting to release real open source drivers. alhough it's only for GTX 1600 series & RTX 2000 series, or newer cards only. So this will help in for those with older systems to switch to Linux as long as they get a GPU from the last five years. I'm personally switching to Bazzite due to me now being more focused on gaming only. If a official SteamOS ISO (version 3 or newer) ever gets fully launched to the public I'll just switch to that.
Linux user here, you should try Linux and the distro i would personally recommend is Fedora or Fedora forks like Nobara,Chimera or Bazzite. İ personally had a way better experiance with Fedora and fedora based distros. But İF i had to recommend Debian based distros i will recommend PoPOS or Mint Gaming on Linux is no problem with Proton or Proton GE, Proton GE is made by GloriousEggRoll and he is the maker of Nobara OS. Also GloriousEggRoll is a RedHeat employe. Avoid Arch,Manjaro,Endaevour or any other distrobutions based on Arch
Linux can run well even the cheapest of PCs and has better support for games, MacOS requires expensive, unupgradable, and flawed hardware but is better for adobe and microsoft office software
if it wasn't for AverMedia, and gaming, i'd never use Windows! also i pirate Windows 10 LTSC 2021 IoT Key because screw any Windows newer than 7 also Windows 11 LTSC 2024 IoT doesn't require TPM or Secure Boot btw u might wanna take a look into it
As a user of Windows 11 I can relate to everything mentioned here in this video but if you get windows 11 enterprise it will be MUCH MORE STABLE I even moved to it on my main it has basically no ads and better privacy in gpedit
Don't like it, don't use it. Windows is a tool to run your computer, as does Linux. It's just that they do it in very different ways. You pointed out some of them in the video. The popularity of Windows is something that makes Windows indispensable to everyone. It is for that reason that it gets software developed for it and driver support from third-party vendors. It's meant to be a one-size-fits-all tool. Linux, on the other hand, is just the kernel, and that's it. The OS as we know it is just the kernel and a collection of software put together by and supported by an organisation. Technically, this makes every distro of Linux regardless of its lineage, unique. You can even put together your own distro but then you would have to do most of the support for it yourself. Therein lies the biggest of Linux's problems, support. With Windows, Microsoft works to find solutions. With Linux, you rely on the distro to do the same. In some cases, like with Nvidia, it's hard to get the same support for Linux that Windows enjoys. As I said earlier, Windows is a tool. Nothing is stopping you from dropping Windows altogether and using Linux, or even migrating to MacOS. I have been dual-booting Windows and Linux since the mid-1990s and I use both for very different reasons. I use them for the tools that they are and do not get emotional about them for very petty reasons. In any case, I leave it to you. Ultimately, Windows 11 isn't that bad and some of the problems you mentioned aren't really problems. There are ways around it. It's up to you to find the middle ground that you seek.
Den xreiazete kan na to skefteis poia gia switch se linux, me to kainourgio gaming support pou efere i valve ola einai komple, kai einai ena arketa oraio kai anoixto perivalon
I moved my laptop over to mint after trying Windows 11 on my laptop maybe a year ago and finally moved my main workstation to Pop OS after Windows 10 EOS was announced. It hasn't been painless but Windows 11 finally got me to the point where I'd rather deal with Linux problems than Windows ones and to be honest Linux as a desktop OS has improved a lot since the last time I used it. That said I do still have a Windows mini PC to run office on since I sometimes need to work on stuff at home, but I find windows 11 much less annoying when I don't have to run it all the time and I'm not interested in dual booting or running windows in a VM or owning a modern Mac. Not ideal but it works for me.
I will give my honest opinion on Linux with Steam it's improving but needs work without the use of Proton more and more games are coming to Linux I think when Windows 10 dies I am not going to care because I still got security software and can eventually emulate my games if Valve wants to pull the plug. As unreliable as Valve is for gaming we should really think about bringing game discs back to PCs from the early 2000s which is what will future proof computers which is what technically DOES future proof computers if you are a PC gamer and own a disk drive in this day in age you're lucky and should keep it you're not missing out on anything.
i'm using xubuntu since i have a older pc and i'm not exactly linux savvy. i've gotten 90% of my steam library working on here so i'm happy enough. didn't play the other 10% anymore anyways. though i will point out that i didn't play anything with anti-cheat in it. if you play mmo's you might wanna dual boot.
Now you can play PC games on Linux thanks to Proton and Wine compatibility. Unless you play very specific games like Fortnite or Valorant, which don't work at all on Linux, you really don't need Windows now.
@@AllieRX knew I would see a comment like that. You can't really rely on Open software programs from Gitub to use your Razer peripherals and your Meta quest headset. Some games with Anticheat might have microphone issues, (i.e Vrchat). So blame these companies for not caring about easily making a linux version of the programs you love than relying on a guy with a Anime picture on github..... So just get a Steam deck. I rather not dual boot my PC with Linux. It's ridiculous, I only want one OS on my computer hardware honestly.
When i say that i never used Macs in my entire life, i mean that i never used macs that i own, at least for now. Macs do have their limits, but nowadays, since the introduction of the M1 macs, macs have become more faster than ever and more efficient according to various people and various sources. I have used a mac before, but that was a borrow, and this exact Mac was an M1 Macbook Air which amazed me, and i am pretty sure the Pro models of the M2 for example will amaze me more, at least once i learn about Macs more and unleash their true potential. I haven't used the M series macs more to unleash it tho... I loved Windows, but now i hate having it for my personal use, and now i want to shift my workloads to Linux or a Macbook, and keep the gaming stuff to Windows 10 for the moment until i find a soloution about gaming on the 2 alternative platforms. Otherwise, i'll stick to Windows 10 for gaming on my Ryzen PC or play games on a Steam Deck...
Agreed, never used macOS but through my experience with iOS macOS is probably the most solid and well built desktop os out there today. It’s a shame that Apple treats their users like crap though. Apple products are some of the most flawed products on the planet. 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch. Thing sends 13v directly to the NAND chip frying it instantly. 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. Chip on motherboard has bad solder causing display artifacts. Apple “refurbishes” it by putting piece of rubber on chip, pushing it against the chassis. 2011 MacBook Pro graphics failures. Enough said. MacBook Air 2018. That thing has a fan that doesn’t even connect to the heatsink. CPU fries itself and dies. MacBook Pro 2016 - 2019. Butterfly keyboard fiasco. 2008-09 Macbook. Heat from exhaust vent melts the glue attaching two pieces from the supposed “unibody” design, leading to structural failure. Those things can legit be damaged by pieces of dust. And MacBooks are the only laptops where they can be damaged by a SATA cable. Verdict: if you want to support this company and join the craziness listed above, go ahead. You have been warned
oh yeah and microsoft is making absolutely sure that you're getting updates for windows 11 -- every method i've tried to get rid of the updates just kept getting reversed on login
6 years Linux Mint user... Everything just works as it should on my old trusty Dell! My other Win10 PC (i7@4.4Ghz) is only used as a games machine (all updates & telemetry disabled)...
I can't bring myself to get Linux for compatibility reasons, but I got a modified Windows installer called Atlas and I haven't looked back. Telemetry is stripped. Local accounts are easy. Updates are optional. I'm not being prompted after every restart to "finish setting up your device". It's free and open source for both Windows 10 and 11.
i am gonna pay 40~50 bucks to continue using windows 10 until eol and after that possibly still windows 11… but not for windows! i’m gonna buy NTLite with that money. a tool to customize your windows iso before installing so you can install updates, run scripts (e.g. preinstall your browser of choice and steam with silent install scripts, you can also use chris titus tool after installing) you can configure a user account, settings and you are able to remove many annoying/unnecessary content from microsoft even using the free version of NTLite
No, you cannot! it has an enterprise only license! (that's the main argument against using it, every time I tell other users that since Win10 came out on 2015, I use only and exclusively LTSB/LTSC versions, and I refuse to use a non-LTSC version of Windows - BTW Win11 LTSC came out already and I'm still testing it, so far it looks like a Win10 with slightly different GUI and more settings moved in the new control panel).
if you value your mind, your privacy and aren't too stubborn and dumb to learn a new skill, Linux is the way to go. Apple? ffs. Big tech surveillance satellite OS, computers for the sheeple. Linux distros are seeing a massive uptick in usage. Try Endeavour OS or some other Arch based distro until you can figure out enough to use pure Arch.
Get a Mac, run macOS/linux/windows however you want. It has 24 hours battery life, is faster, lighter, stronger, better speakers, trackpad, and superior security.
I guess you don’t watch Louis rossmann then. Apple products are some of the most flawed products on the planet. 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch.

I don't blame you, Windows is getting ridiculously crazy these days with the amount of telemetry and spyware that Microsoft is putting into their oses. And as strange as this sounds, this is why I plan on using Windows 7 again soon just like I did about 4 - 6 years ago because that was the last feasible os Microsoft has ever released. It may be unsupported now but as long as my programs work and as long as I am wise about what I do online, I personally don't feel afraid to use it in the slightest. Otherwise, I could ditch Windows all together and use Linux from now on if I really had to.
@@sun-groupecommunications1331 That's pretty cool. I would also recommend dualbooting a distro of Linux such as Mint or you could dualboot Windows 10 if you need something else to work with too.
No Mac, only Linux, because community cares more of you than a company named after a fruit Xbox 360 had great community features, and a nice marketplace in support of indies, and the controller was one of the best designed to last and blades was a great ui Windows Longhorn was one of the most innovative oses ive ever seen, it had fluent beautiful animations, it has well crafted icons, it had useful features, it felt very human, but because of hardware at the time, it never happened, but now it can, and its what windows 11 wished it was. And yeah, most software spys on you, your ohone does too, it sucks, best you can do is linux and lineage os
i myself loved windows 7 , it had incredible performance , but for running latest softwares that i need , i had to get win 10 and unfortunately sacrifice some performance in return , not upgrading to 11 anytime soon
You could use W10 LTSC 2021, which gets support until 2032. I'm using it and plan to stick with it for as long as possible. Additionally, I've got a transformation pack called Revert8Plus that deals with the poor design of modern Windows.
