Too late. I've already switched all four of my home PCs to Linux Mint.

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I'm surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!

To be honest I don't think that Linux is of any concern to them. Windows 11 is losing market share to windows 10. They are competing among themselves.

They need everyone to move on from windows 10 before they start slamming ads in windows 11.

If I needed to install right now, it would be 10, not 11.

Gramps needed his excel icon - on the monitor I might add - or else. Debloat and activation scripts got him his windows 7 and office 2007 experience back, he was very appreciative of my "hack", merely for the same experience he paid for back some 15 years.

He doesn't know what a "Linux" is, but I am greatful that people are still invested enough to make utilities to return back to a more user centric experience in windows - even if I certainly don't care to go back
