The cure is called windows 10 ltsc iot, don't care about piracy.
Across 2 machines my start menu only opens up every other time I press the start key on my keyboard. Known bug in windows 10 for ~ 6 years, eventually fixed in windows 11. So anyways I used to work at MSFT, I've even stepped through the Windows Kernel source on occasion (great code base) but I'm now running Linux on my home PC because the customer obsessed company I dreamed of working for one day (and ended up workin…

Do Windows users hate modern Windows this much?
Some of us appreciate the NeXTSTEP heritage on macOS but don't want to put up with prices, or soldered components, killing any kind of expansion.
Also many of us do have decades experience with Linux, but decided to save the time spent with Linux tinkering during our youth, by using local VMs or cloud instances.

My computer freezes for 2-3 seconds when I try to open the volume panel and there are ads everywhere on Win 11. It's like Microsoft wants to wipe every good memory I've ever had with past Windows experiences and just accept the present.
If MacOS ever ended up like that, I'd be on desktop linux tomorrow despite the inconvenience.

I am remiss to inform you that Big Sur and-onward feels less snappy than GNOME, and has nearly as many advertisements as Windows 11. It wasn't what I wanted either, I bailed after Mojave.

No, we see many of Windows 11 nuisances as something to put up with, if we want to the freedom to drive to the local PC store to have any problem sorted out, while having aquariums (which I personally hate), to compete with game consoles in capabilities.

I will agree that the ram/ssd factory upgrades are horrendously priced. Other than that, I don’t see their pricing as unfair at all.

I mean, I was a Hackintosher 10 years. It was nice to be able to stuff $2000 worth of components into a case that I found in a dumpster, but these days I deal with The “apple tax” to not have to put up with my OS treating me like a walking microtransaction.
