  • Why do you think its a problem that this is discussed a lot? Its a huge deal, so its only good its discussed and not accepted by everyone. I think this is healthy. We only read about the drama and a few quotes, but if you look closer then their argumentation makes a bit more sense. It is not just drama for the sake of drama. Some maybe toxic, that is another thing, because they would be toxic with other topics too.

    Here is in a videoformat from ThePrimeagen (programmer at Netflix, or he was, not sure about current state) going through a recent discussion in the Linux Kernel mailing list about this topic. It’s about a hour long and adds some thoughts on its own too, which was valuable to me. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QcQ_128OIw


  • Not bad is not a reason for people to upgrade. Something must be good, otherwise why would you. And there are couple of problems with Windows 11 like the bloat, less optimized on old hardware (if it runs) and all the headlines and talk about Microsoft integrating an Ai that scans everything you do. Plus the usual compatibility issues with updates and data collection that you can’t turn off. In the end, its just annoying for people to upgrade to Win 11, without any benefits to them, but the risk of new problems and incompatibility.

    However if I were a Possibly windows user who does not want to use anything else than Windows, then there is no question: upgrade is a must, because 10 stop getting support. Its as simple as that, provided the hardware can run it.
