MicrosoftThis is very sad to hear. A year ago I had to forcefully transition to windows 10 after the apps I was forced to use by my uni stopped working with 7. Now I have to transition again? If the state of 11 is anything like the state 10 was in its early stages, that is a big NO for me. I am not a test user, I am not a guinea pig, I am not interested in seeing ads everywhere in the OS and certainly not interested in performance degradation. Windows 10 used to be VERY slow compared to win7. Win11 will probably be slow, buggy and hard to use for another few years after 10 is not supported... That is, IF our machines meet the security requirement.
Thankfully, there are alternatives - Linux with infinite customization and of all flavors for all kinds of users! Thank you, MicroSoft, for making Linux more and more appealing and giving the community there the push to grow even more! It would not have happened without your incompetence!
For anyone looking to transition to Linux, it isn't as scary, buggy and hard as it used to be a few years back. Quite the quick and painless installation for most "distributions" (a way of saying what kind of Linux it is). And with Valve pushing the front-line for gaming on Linux, many apps and games, including big ones, are already very well supported! And if some software is not supported, there are also many alternatives available on Linux!
If you don't know where to start, which "distro" to use, start with Linux Mint - it is a very windows-users-friendly with the UI being very similar to windows. Ubuntu is also a very solid alternative and if the UI is not to your liking - you can install another one! Cinnamon is a good, windows-like "desktop environment". And the community around Linux is very good (except for Arch...).
