    This will make Windows 11 a target for hacker and government agencies, since this will be treasure of data. Windows already is bad at security. Let’s see how this backfires at Microsoft.

      Microsoft will be the “hackers”. On days when outside hackers aren’t breaking in, MS will be data mining and selling the data themselves

    In the 1990s, I transitioned from Windows to Linux as my primary operating system. Since then, Linux has consistently exhibited advancements in the desktop and software space, whereas Windows and Mac operating systems appear to have experienced a decline in terms of user experience and functionality.

      As someone regularly using Arch, Ubuntu, MacOS and Windows I agree.

      The advances Linux has made, especially in the last few years is just amazing. I can run the majority of my games through Proton, there are even some preconfigured packages with Illustrator and Photoshop CC that Adobe doesn‘t seem to care about at all.

    “But they’ll be reserved for premium models starting at $999.”

    Translation: “We want to start with the data of people that can spend, then we’ll move to the rest”.

    The last Windows computer in my house was my wife’s, and she’s been extremely happy on Fedora Gnome for the last couple of months, asking me why I didn’t tell her about it before (I did, lol).

      my girlfriends like fedora gnome too. I do all the technical stuff anyway so she really doesn’t have know to know that much about the os she uses

        Same here. The only tweak I had to do was set up Flameshot, my wife finds Gnome’s screen shot app lacking, and so do I.

        The only thing we run different is office. I set her up with OnlyOffice because of the similarities with MS office, but I prefer libreoffice.

    It’s not going to get better. I nuked 10 and switched to Linux permanently around the Windows 11 launch. My only regret is not switching sooner, like around Windows 8 times.
