    It’s what you can’t see that is problematic. The surveillance is turned up to 11. Ba-dum Tish!

      You really think Windows 10 has less tracking? This is the thing that bothers me the most in general. People are quick to just accept what they think is the popular view of something without experiencing it for themselves. Especially in the day and age of social media people just say things are bad because someone they know watched a video that says it was bad.

      Literally, this whole Windows 11 is bad thing started because some tech content creators pointed out that every other version of Windows is bad (which isn’t even strictly true) and everyone just agreed with them because they “know what they are talking about”. I hold on love for Microsoft, but I also hold no love for Google and Apple because they are corporations and that means you should trust them as far as you can throw them. Windows 11 wasn’t even great in the beginning, but I wanted to give it a shot because I wanted the full experience. I wanted to know what I was talking about when I told people not to upgrade. As of right now the general public (e.g. not a bunch of Linux nerds on the Fediverse) are probably fine to use 11. Would I tell people to go out of their way to upgrade? Fuck no. But if a new computer comes with 11 pre-installed they probably wouldn’t even notice beyond the taskbar placement.

        W11 is garbage, I now need two “keystrokes” just to get to the meat of the context menu, I have to type fucking commands to setup a PC without a microsoft account, the “themes” are half assed as fuck and don’t hold a candle to anything linux related, and why are some settings contained in control panel and some in settings when they are related? Wtf? I didn’t even mention telemetry or ads either. Windows is quickly becoming a hot dumpster fire, it is actually easier for the tech illiterate to use Linux Mint for web browsing than itnis getting them started on a Windows machine with no MS account.

        I use Tiny10 (not as my main os, as a VM for when I have no choice but to use a windows app)
