  1. I made a powershell script for Windows 10 users so they never upgrade and also it gets rid of all the warnings, announcements and prompts to install/upgrade to Windows 11.

    Since I made this, my Windows 10 never mentioned Windows 11 again.

    (Anyway, as soon as Windows 10 goes EOL, I will fully switch to Linux Mint)

  2. All those shenaningans did was to convince me to move to Linux on my laptop that “doesn’t support Windows 11” but perfectly support the any bleeding edge distro I install on it. And then I moved to Linux on the laptop that supports Windows 11, on the gaming rig and every other machine I’ve.

    And I’ve to thanks Microsoft for this quality of life improvment!

  3. It feels like the forced updates are increasingly fixes for very contrived vulnerabilities that would never be usable in practice and malware payloads.

    I got one of these yesterday, and it got me killed in my game. I had to force restart because it locked me out of doing *anything*. Couldn’t even get the cursor to show up. Even ctrl+alt+del didn’t work.

    I was not pleased.

    Upgrading to 11 ok but they but hardware limitation mean I7-7700hq is not supported by windows 11

    Sending me notifications that my i7 with 16GB Ram isn’t able to run Windows 11 isn’t going to get me to buy a new computer. It’s only going to make me even more annoyed at Microsoft for creating this situation in the first place.

    I don’t know why Microsoft has to keep abusing their users these days… They’ve literally driven me away from Windows. My next rig will be running Linux Mint.

    There should be no ads in products we’ve paid for. Would love to see the EU pick up on that.

    Sure Microsoft, just send me $2000 x4 PC’s for my household and I’ll be happy to.

    Honestly it’s not even the hardware that’s the problem. The OS is just plain bad.

    aaaaand that’s why I dont mind paying 900€ for an 8gb ram macbook.

    Yip i7 with 32GB ram isn’t enough for windows 11? Make me laugh. Windows is becoming a dumpster fire of adds and splash screens and crap so it’s now disconnected from the net entirely as Linux unfortunately doesn’t support editing software.
