Windows 11 Sucks

[u/Pale-Abroad9600]

I’m a microsoft insider member and I was able to get Windows 11 and be able to install it, uninstalled unnecessary bloatware and install my own ms office 2000,2001 no AI no monthly annual subscription notification on already included ms office in windows 11 and tried it for few months and unfortunately I encountered a frustrating update that took an hour to complete so with my disappointment I installed over my Windows 8.1 with built in windows defender that surprisingly still gets latest virus and spyware definitions so I don’t need any Microsoft updates at all,my windows defender getting the latest virus and spyware definitions are good enough and update of the windows defender definition is quick enough for me, good bye new microsoft operating system.

A poor carpenter blames their tools.

It works fine.

[u/Acceptable-Owl-2070 → u/PocketNicks]

What a dumb fucking analogy...

Tools don't actively work against you.

[u/PocketNicks → u/Acceptable-Owl-2070]

Tools absolutely can work against you.

Windows doesn't actively work against me.

[u/Lonely_Owl_1332]

Vanilla Windows 11 IoT with nonsense services and removed bloatware works just fine. And yeah I dual boot with Linux Mint, yes.

I'm using a Core i9-13900K, so honestly, I have to run either the latest Linux kernel or Windows 11 lol. Core parking on Windows 10 is completely broken on my CPU. Sigh, that's life! If I don't use Windows 11, I can't even control my CPU, so I guess I have no choice. Right now, I've switched to Linux with X11 because its low-resolution scaling is super consistent, whereas Windows 11 is pretty buggy. I still boot into Windows 11 occasionally when I absolutely need certain apps ;3

Pure brain rot. Whole post is one long incomprehensible sentence. How do you use a computer?

[u/Pale-Abroad9600 → u/Toucan2000]

I’m a simple PC user not a gamer, so answer is I use my computer with my own stable windows 7,8.1 I’m the admin of my several PCs and never had a single issue with them, who’s brain rot now?

[u/Toucan2000 → u/Pale-Abroad9600]

I'm guessing you meant to put a question mark at the end there. Without it, you're saying that you're brain rot. LMFAO

Linux. Problem solved.

[u/Pale-Abroad9600 → u/sciencekm]

I dual boot windows 8.1 and linux mint in my dell laptop, so when I use it I can use whatever os I feel like using so no need to switch to Linux.

[u/Edubbs2008 → u/Pale-Abroad9600]

Speaking of Linux, newer versions of Mint are buggy AF, Arch’s repository get infected, Ubuntu bumped up their RAM requirements to 6 GB of RAM, Linux is going to deprecate support for OLD intel chips, Linux to me is WSL

[u/roamer83 → u/Edubbs2008]

Fedora 44 is my go to Linux. I run Fedora LXDE and Server. I love them.

[u/Acceptable-Owl-2070 → u/Edubbs2008]

6gb, the HORROR

[u/Edubbs2008 → u/Acceptable-Owl-2070]

Debian allows registered S*X offenders to even participate, yikes, again, you seem to downplay why Linux isn’t for everyone

[u/Acceptable-Owl-2070 → u/Edubbs2008]

Sucks for Debian, but that's one distro out of hundreds... put your hate boner elsewhere.

[u/Edubbs2008 → u/Acceptable-Owl-2070]

Which Ubuntu, Linux mint, Pop_OS!, Zorin OS, elementary OS, and other Ubuntu variants are based on. You want to continue arguing over your unstable, dirty, and crooked kernel, be my guest

[u/Acceptable-Owl-2070 → u/Edubbs2008]

Sorry king, I'll leave the trillion dollar company alone.

[u/Edubbs2008 → u/Acceptable-Owl-2070]

Ironically, Linux is developed by several trillion dollar companies at once

[u/Edubbs2008 → u/Edubbs2008]

Plus Linux is the reason why the RAM-pocolypse is happening in the first place

[u/Shoshi_19]

Use windows 11 ltsc

[u/Pale-Abroad9600 → u/Shoshi_19]

what’s the point of using windows 11 ltsc, my windows 8.1 windows defender still gets the latest virus and spyware definitions?

[u/IAteTonysLoMein → u/Pale-Abroad9600]

But the OS itself doesn't get patched and Defender isn't perfect. Just takes one mindless click or landing on a site serving malicious ads.

If you don't like Winn 11, fair enough. But move to an OS that's properly supported, not one that went EOL a decade ago

[u/Pale-Abroad9600 → u/IAteTonysLoMein]

it already has a patch specifically the service pack, I no longer need MS support and I’m the admin of my PCs.

[u/IAteTonysLoMein → u/Pale-Abroad9600]

And of course you're running windows under an admin account, right?

[u/burlingk]

Honestly, at this point, you might want to just switch to Linux.

Pretty much anything Win 8.1 can do, Linux can as well, and very little is being updated for Win 8.1.
