yeah i need star citizen, ableton, fl studio, premier, photoshop and more before i can dedicate a jump to linux
don't forget that LTSC is also a solution, you don't have to give in to 11
There's nothing wrong with windows 11 imo
it's a death by a thousand cuts situation, more friction to use a local account, less convenience in accessing rarely used settings (most recently I was trying to help someone change a setting located in the advanced power management control panel thing), more pressure to use edge, continuing to shove one-drive down our throats, copilot, implementing features that knowingly make third party tools work significanly less well without proper customization to fix it, weirdness around Multi-Display setups on laptops, the maps app getting worse at giving directions.
So.. in my experience edge runs better than all other browsers with the ability to mute individual tabs without an addon. I disabled copilot. I disabled one drive and use local storage only. All settings can be accessed by just typing what you want in the search bar. If you need advanced settings for anything you just click the button that says "advanced settings" To me it's fairly simple, but it's all I've ever used. My Mac knowledge is minimal and my Linux knowledge is also minimal, so for me both those OS's are difficult to use and navigate. I also like the ability to double click something to install it and not have to open a command box and do child coding just to use something.
So I get what your saying. If I had Linux only for the last 30 years I would also find windows to be confusing and stupid.
I had windows for 20 years. enough is enough. I'll never accept all the bullshit of 11. but if you use edge, I see you have different values, like privacy is not really important to you
What privacy would I need man? I'm not on some super secret server making plans for global domination lol.
"super secret server" what, we are talking in discord servers now?
privacy is not for "super secret" people. it is for everyone who does not mindlessly throw it away.
So you couldn't just answer the question? What do I need security from? I don't input credit card information. So I generally want to know
I'm not talking about credit card information. I'm talking about all the kinds of commercial data mining that is happening basically all over the internet. Personally, I'm sick of it. and while firefox has problems, anything chromium based won't even try to project your privacy, to the contrary, especially edge. if you like having all your digital and a lot of irl activities collected in data broker databases for profiling, targeted ads, personalized costs and whatnot, then edge is the ideal browser for you.
I think you might be paranoid a little bit.
