shalafi@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI’m on Win11 and see almost none of the issues people like you are talking about. No doubt they exist! Maybe it’s because I’m on a plain vanilla ISO and I stripped the crap out early on? Same SSD I had 4 computers ago on Win10, just get moving it over. Talk like yours makes me afraid of a fresh install!
If it’s as bad as people say, I’ll give up and go Debian. I was largely staying Windows so I could be familiar and support my coworkers. Unemployed now. Who cares?

They’ve since relaxed a bit on the forced hardware upgrade part; you can install Win11 on ‘unsupported’ hardware now, you’ll basically just have click a prompt saying you’ll get no support, where initially it wouldn’t even let you do that.
The forced MS account login is very much an issue with the consumer SKUs and the Enterprise/IoT SKUs still let you use a local account. Similarly, LTSC in particular is barren on the bloat front, while the consumer SKUs and even the non-LTSC Enterprise and IoT SKUs aren’t much better in this regard, come loaded with bloat.
