I've literally never touched a single PC running Windows 11. I've normally been an early adopter-- I even used Windows 8.0 and 8.1 but I just have zero interest in Windows 11.
I earn my living on a Mac, do my photography hobby on a Mac-- Windows exists (for me) only for games, and Linux is closer to parity every day.
It's unfortunate, because there are some improvements like WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) [1] that I think are a big step in the right direction. The problem is the OS is becoming user-hostile in order to squeeze every last penny out of users. On a paid product (when there are an entire universe of free software), what is the point of paying for ads?
When 8 and 8.1 came out, I upgraded immediately because I thought I'd need to get with the times eventually. I suppose, in retrospect, 8 wasn't that bad. It had questionable design choices, but not anti-consumer design. Even Vista wasn't anti-consumer, it was just very unpolished. Perhaps it's easier to accept mistakes than it is to put up with malicious behaviour.
