win11 is so fuckin bad and Microsoft so untrustworthy at this point I will exit the Windows software ecosystem I've stuck with for nearly 30 fuckin years over it.

Time to start testing out different linux distros on my desktop to find one I like.

I've had some success using Chris Titus toolset (ctt) to automate getting rid of the bloat & spyware on systems I have to use windoz on

Otherwise it is Linux or BSD

@Irishmasms yeah those debloat tools do a lot but its not enough when MS is trying to force you to sign in to your own local computer using an online Microsoft account. That's a hard no from me, and with all the moves they've made to make this harder to circumvent I don't trust them at all to not one day just force it on you and hold all your data hostage.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon feels very much like Windows 7, and for the most part things work well including emulating Windows apps in WINE and Steam gaming with its built in Proton compatibility layer
