I don’t understand how Windows 11 file system/explorer just chugs so much. If you have a folder with more than a dozen or so files, it’s optional whether anything will load or not. Everything about Windows 11 is leaning into the worst aspects of windows 10, without any benefit.

And how do they still fucking suck at searching for files. I can't find shit without the Everything app
This is expected from Microsoft. It's their tick tock pattern of good windows based windows. 95 good, ME bad, XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11bad.
Yes, they added tabs, which is good. But made the rest crap. When you right click a file, copy is just 1cm higher. At the top of the pop up.
My PC isn't compatible, so fuck Windows 11
Yeah exactly... my laptop isn't going to grow more ram so I don't see the point in upgrading. When October 2025 rolls around I may need to upgrade my laptop to freebsd
My perfectly good PC has an incompatible processor with W11, so I'm not upgrading.
I imagine it'll still be just fine next October, so even if Microsoft doesn't extend support for W10, I'll still be using it.
I'll stick to Win10 until the end of the support period, just like how I stuck to Win7 as long as I could 😬 That was still my favourite OS, loved Aero 🥺
The dip in usage comes just as Microsoft has been forcing full-screen ads onto the machines of customers running Windows 10 to encourage them to upgrade.
Yeah no shit! When my computer does full-screen, disruptive things that I didn't tell it to do, I figure out how to remove that malware. I've been off Windows at home for about a month now, thanks Linux Mint! Getting some games to work has been challenging, but most things have just worked and quite a few work much better!
Performance is up overall, and my confidence that my computer isn't running a bunch of secret ad and spy ware is way up. Hardware like my gamepad and microphone would randomly disconnect and have issues on Windows, all working perfectly now.
Unfortunately I'm still deep in MS land for work, but there's almost a comedic quality to it. Everything's very slow, everyone has constant issues with Teams, or Office online, or Dynamics, or copilot shoving it's tendrils into everything. Watching businesses struggle to keep operating in the face of Microsoft's inadequacy is like being a mechanic watching a motor grind to a halt because the owner/manufacturer replaced all the oil with syrup.
Like yes, it's my problem to fix, but I'm just glad it's not my car.
