I just can't bring myself to believe that Windows 11 is or ever will be right for somebody. It's going to cause more frustration to use it than to figure out an alternative.

fortunately you don't get decide what's best for everyone. you do you, not everyone else. don't be a dick here.

What are you even saying, you want me to preface comments with "Opinion Article" ?

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm saying you don't get to dictate what people use. you can share your opinion, but you don't have to be an ass.

Womp womp, I guess, you just have to live with the fact that my comments exist.

It is almost the same as Windows 8 underneath. W11 for almost everyone should feel just like a new skin with couple more features. There are some annoyances, but I have not seen anything yet that I would consider dealbreaking.

They put ads in the startmenu and take "snapshots" of your machine every few seconds to train AI to replace office workers.

At least on Pro / Enterprise / Education edition there are no ads. Maybe I have disabled them, no idea. It could be that this is a thing in Home edition that cannot be easily disabled, have never used Home edition in my life to be honest.

Recall is an optional feature that will run on specific CPUs and it will be local unless something recently changed. Would I use it even if I could? No, I don't see a need, but it probably will be useful to many.
