I'd have gone with either 11 or ME.
My girlfriend got a new PC and asked me if she should upgrade to windows 11 and I responded with "I guess?"
I will never forgive myself for what I unknowingly inflicted upon her.
I upgraded from a 1080Ti to the 3080 12GB. The biggest improvements was only after switching from Win10 to 11.
Tbh the biggest hassle we've encountered is a .NET framework cmd window that will sporadically pop up and take focus away from the current window. I've done some searching and attempted some things with no avail. If it were mine I'd probably have reformatted and started fresh by now but that's a hassle when she's trying to get work done.
I wonder if there's a tech support community here that would be able to able without resorting to such drastic measures.
If we're going to be together you're going to have to use Arch. Thx.
What, you don't LFS?
Noob.
There is a difference between punishment and cruel torture.
This squarely falls into the latter category.
No shit I just had a nightmare last night that my computer installed W11 by itself against my will and it’s the first and scariest nightmare I’ve had in years.
Worst punishment I ever had was getting my girlfriend a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows ME and Wireless-b. Constant drops from the wireless router.
Imagine thinking Windows 10 is a punishment.
This tweet is so old that I remember seeing it on Windows 10's release
Imagine think it isn't...
I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't realize it yet.
Buddy, I've been using Windows 10 since its release in 2015. In spite of Windows' quirks, Microsoft's shittiness sometimes, and gasp having to pay for it, 10 is a fine operating system. I'm not nearly the kind of person who flops on the floor kicking and crying anytime a new piece of software or hardware is created. I loved the Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Windows 7 and 10, and I give Microsoft Edge the credit it's due for where it's pretty decent. I defend the flawed Windows Vista and 8 as important in-betweens on the path to better OS's. Windows 11 on the other hand... still kinda sucks. Because I try to be fair in all things.
Speaking of being fair in all things, Linux doesn't function as well as Windows and has many more problematic quirks-- some of them quite laughable-- and that's the truth. Android (which is not Linux) is also a mess, but at least it doesn't struggle with its hardware.
"...I think I've been naughtier than that. I really neeeeed you to punish me."
"Okay." aborts the installation and begins installing Windows 8
