Anyone who thinks Windows 10 is better: Have you tried installing the current version recently? There's like a dozen screens full of bullshit where you have to click "maybe later" or "yes, I want the limited experience", while Windows hits you with messages such as "setting up some stuff" or "relax and let us take care of everything".
Then after installation you have to go through all the settings and deny, deny, deny some more.
Hide the annoying mouseover "news", the search field, remove Edge from desktop, taskbar, standard app settings and favorites, ...Shit, forgot to install updates first.
So you update. Now the privacy settings are changed again, Edge is back everywhere (it's your standard browser again), "news" are back, the search field is back. But only after you clicked through the blue screen asking you all the questions from the installation again.
Not to mention the urgent security notifications telling you you'll lose all your data if you don't set up OneDrive and your PC isn't safe without an MS account...

I think windows 10 is better than windows 11, absolutely.

Have I tried installing the most recent version recently? Fuck no. I hate windows. Last time I installed it, it was for work and it was a server OS. That doesn’t change the reality of differences between 10 and 11.

However, your complaints apply to Win 10 and 11 equally.

Are you saying windows 11 somehow isn't a similar horror show with even more privacy invasion?

I have actually reinstalled recently. I've never had updates re-add or re-enable anything I've uninstalled or disabled. And the setup guide (all the things you deny, deny, deny) hasn't changed much in the last few iterations of Windows. It can also be totally automated to disable or not install pretty much any of those features when you create the installation media, and then you don't even have to manually do anything during setup.

The last thing that just appeared after an update was Copilot. And that was a super simple setting to get rid of.

The fundamental difference between 10 and 11 is that in 10 I still remember how to turn off all these features while in 11 its that much more difficult to do so.

Ah, yes. Windows 11 is better because since 11 came out MS made 10 worse.
