Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore
shalafi@lemmy.world 2 days agoI was criticizing MS before most of lemmy was fucking born. But can you see what I’m saying?
“Never had these issues, not once.”
Lemmy: “Fuck you! Yes you have! You’re not in our tribe!” (Also lemmy: Only idiot conservatives defend their tribe no matter what.)
Can you see how insane that is from my perspective? Installed Windows 10 on this SSD 8-years ago. Moved that SSD through 3 or 4 PCs and upgraded to 11, no problems.
Then there was a very similar thread about people trying to switch to Linux:
“As soon as I get $basic_driver working, I can finally switch!”
Been running Linux servers for 20-years. I never use MS unless there’s a compelling reason, IIS or some bullshit. But the Linux desktop is still a clusterfuck.
“It’s awesome if you use $distro with $desktop! You’ll have problems with $x, $y and $z, but you can fix that by [command line work].”
“OK. I can make Windows go with a base ISO and some PowerShell. No ads, no horseshit, start menu is flawless.”
“Look at this idiot that has to use a CLI to make his OS work!”
These people are like atheists that just learned you don’t have to believe in god.
You just come off as unusually worked up about the Microsoft criticisms is why I ask.
Its not even a lemmy thing exclusice either. From reddit to youtube there’s been lot of criticism of the direction of consumer Windows 11 that there’s people providing guides now on getting LTSC.

I used windows since 3.1 up till 11. It’s dogshit after windows 7 even when I use cmd scripts to limit telemetry and customize it because MS with their infinite wisdom decided to revert my customizations to their default dogshit.
Linux is not perfect at all but Id rather dealing with linux issues over greedy executive decisions to cause issues intentionally.

With Linux systems we never(?) have to deal with defaults decided by the profit motive. The computer might not instantly do everything I want but I don’t have to fight a multinational corporation as part of the solution. That’s what swung it permanently for me. I’m not in corporate IT but as a fixer of hundreds of people’s personal computers over decades, Windows is horrific and nowadays I have started just refusing to become responsible for trying to sort it out, even for pay.

Lol
Not only were there dogshit windows versions before 7, 8 was an upgrade in almost other way other than “omg start menu big now” culture shock. The new task manager alone was worth having a slightly bigger start menu.
