Does anyone want windows 11 at all?

Not seen a single new feature in windows I cared about since XP 64 bit.

[–] deranger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I’ve been using it for quite a while now… it’s fine. This happens literally every single time a new windows version comes out.

The only genuinely bad Windows IME was ME. Vista had driver teething problems, and 8 had a weird UI, but outside of that… they’re all just fine.

I’ve been building PCs since the late 90s and have pirated Windows from 98 on up.

Every two windows version is a disaster. 95 nice, 98 sucked, XP was great, vista was a flop, 7 wow, 8 eurk, 10 marvelous, 11 is shit... They don't learn. But this time the goal is to make more money through adds, widgets and preinstalled bloatware.

They really got trained well... Removing shit bloatware is not a "feature"

Thanks daddy satya. Visionary

In other news the sky is blue and water is wet.

Truly, we are on the cusp of great discoveries.

I stuck Windows 10 LTSC on there, removed Edge and turned off all telemetry and it already comes with basically none. Never have been happier. No telemetry or bloatware.

Imagine paying $200 for that

Is there something like LTSC/LTSB for Windows 11?

I have Win10LTSC installed on a separate partition for games and the thought of having to "upgrade" to Windows 11 at some point in the future is nightmare inducing.

Now if only we could remove all the ads they are pushing…

The people app has been an abomination since the start and was barely updated since.
