11 was fine until they forced Copilot Vision on everyone. That was the straw for me to finally bail to Linux

They did what now? I have no Copilot features turned on in my PCs, and I actually have a certified Copilot+ laptop.

If they just sold a very simple lightweight barebone version of Win 10 for 30-40 usd with regular security updates for the next 200 years, they could make so much money for eternity. Just sell those Apps/Widgets as additional paid apps, that is all you need.

I have windows 11 because it came with a new pc. The damn thing crashed so much it reminded me of bad windows from the old days. Don't get it YET if you don't have to.
Windows vista. Shudders
What bothers me is that I'm getting all this "upgrade to windows 11" crap from other companies, like my antivirus. I get that eset reason to tell me about possible security risks to my computer, but I'd prefer if they give me options for addressing it that don't involve dealing with a new OS, especially the win 11 dumpster fire.
I sidestepped the win11 artificial requirements, and things are great.
