Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 as the most used desktop OS

What's even the difference? Same shit, a bit JS added.
More telemetry, more AI.

Unless we are all techies we don't have much to switch to.
I found Mint rather simple to install. That said, I am a techie. I am using several different distros in my house, but I wanted to live in Mint for a while to see how well a non-techie might fare. My reasoning was that since Ubuntu (Mint's parent) is rather ubiquitous, there is more development and more attention paid to support and troubleshoot issues. So far, so good. Yes, being tech literate does help, but I think a non-techie could live with Linux. And over time, the environment will become more known like Windows is now.

And they moved the start menu.

No Internet Explorer (replaced by probably JavaScript app)

You always had the choice to install Linux, and still do. Dont let them control your PC.

There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube to walk you through installing all the major linux distros. And distros like mint are pretty streamlined now. It's pretty straight forward. And there's a good community here that is always willing to help.

Yeah my corpo laptop will update to 11 on July 10th. I'm going to be testing out in house app on Linux with an older corpo laptop soon

I don't have a significant need to use a laptop or desktop as my phone is my primary computing device. With that said, I run Mint Debian Edition on my laptop. Just because I want my computer to work when I go to use it, even if it has been six months.

My workplace (government) has left it to the last minute and I bet a lot of others have as well. The numbers should shift hard in the next 3 minths.

You can move it back. My forced on me win11 looks a lot like my win10.
Not saying I like it, it's owned and controlled by the employer, but with a little work some of the shitty pointless default UI changes can be minimized.

The AI crap added to notepad was something I didn’t believe until I saw it for myself. Like a fractal cauliflower blossom of bloat touching all things.

Governments really should be shifting entirely to Linux. Reliance on corps not to corp is not good practice for a government

Right, but my point is that it's change for the sake of change, not to improve things. It's the same old Windows, but with some downgrades like telemetry and stupid defaults.
