I doubt that people aren't "smart enough". I've seen the ads for windows 11 on my dad's PC, they are literally full screen banners that guide you right to the upgrade. It couldn't be more simple and obnoxious. The truth is that people simply don't want Windows 11.
I would want Windows 11 if it wasn't a total privacy nightmare. I have been a Windows user for a long time, but MS scared me away the moment the started requiring online accounts. Half my life is on my computer, they can fuck right off with that. Windows is generally pretty good for work computers, but I rather take my private business elsewhere
Well windowd have gon fown the shitter for work computers lately IMO.
Everything is slow, not the programs you're running but everything taken care of by the OS. Like right click to get the context menu, why does it take real time to pup up? Launch a script, same thing. It's like everything you do is first "analysed" before you're "allowed" to do it. Maybe not even locally.
Also the OS shouldn't get in the way, like you mistakenly write "python3" in the shell, suddenly the "windows shop" opens up, with the extra fuck you telling you that it hasn't got that python3. Like wtf.
