I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I'd love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10.

I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn't ask for this. And I have to say.... I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations...

My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it's Microsoft's own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS...

Win 11 is the reason I finally decided to switch. My work gave us all Win 11 machines and I hate it.

Fortunately I don't do too much on my computer besides gaming so Steam can do all the heavy lifting for me

That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don't have Linux options, and if I'm being honest with myself I really just don't want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I'm getting a crash course.

I'd love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent's old kindles won't work, there's enough of them laying around their house...

I've been making the switch on my own new PC, some programs I was concerned about can be run ok through Lutris. It's been an adjustment but no regrets
