Yep. Just turned on my win10 machine and had a full screen spread trying to get me to upgrade which I had to decline 3 different times to get to my desktop. Keep this up M$oft and I’m gonna switch entirely to Linux and run windows in a VM.

Hmmm. I mainly play heroes of the storm at the moment and I've had issues getting that to work. While the steam games seem to work great I really feel like it needs some more polishing.

The work that has been done on it is stellar though. Especially considering it's the publishers not supporting Linux systems.

Everything on my steam deck works great though thanks to valve.

But my desktop... Not sure if I'm ready for that yet. :/

I would rather move to Linux at that point but I can’t do that either since some critical apps I require don’t run on it (yet)

I didn't even get a question, just straight up installed Windows 11 on my Surface with a bunch of cumulative roll ups after using it again for the first time in about 8 months. Couldn't even stop it once the "windows update" started, only option is to allow the reboot and then go through the hassle of rolling back to 10. It's a tertiary device for me and goes long periods without being used and I was probably ok with testing 11 performance on it, but don't appreciate being strong armed. I had to kill modern standby again to prevent battery drain while shut down, which is plaguing my laptop after I tried 11 on it.

Windows 11 is straight up unusable in multi-monitor configurations though due to the locked down UI customization, so my main rig won't be touching it with a 20ft pole. If Linux had more consistent VR gaming performance and support, I'd probably be jumping ship. As it stands, once 10 hits EOL I'll probably end up there anyway. Microsoft will be killing one of my headsets at the same time anyway by dropping WMR, and I hear there is some great Linux options for the Surface Pro line now too.

windows has sucked ever since 8

Windows 10 was alright if it weren't for the constant almost-forced updates.

I miss Windows 7.
