FatShady, 18 Nov 2021thanks i guess? i don't update windows ever, the last ... moreHow do you block the auto updates ? I am forever having to stop the things.
I mean I do update but when I want to...not when it decides

    thanks i guess? i don't update windows ever, the last and only time i did was for 'dark mode' couple of years ago.

      This is actually a good thing, but I honestly dont think I will jump to Windows 11. I think I'll either aim for Linux or perhaps go in and buy a M1 Macbook Pro.

      See, I'm tired of Microsoft half hearted approaches with UI. Windows 8.1 had a clean UI, then came 10 which felt full of bloatware and never went anywhere with its design inconsistency.

      And 11 is a mixed bag, taking out useful stuff like tiles (which are better than a bunch of icons), moving around the menu and hiding other stuff, with just a few nice stuff added, like rounded corners and the overhall of the look of the OS. And since it's getting twice a year updates, it means it will break and have issues like Windows 10 did in its first years.

        Im sure someone will complain about it.

          Microsoft only wants users buy new computers

            This is a good thing. Stability.

              and my obvious love of spreadsheets and docs, thankfully most of the programs I use on my PC have Linux versions.

              Not sure which version of Linux I will go for this time though...seems to be many more sprung up since I last dabbled.

                Lol, I'll soon format, and I planned to make a dual boot with a Linux distro as my secondary OS.
                But I'm tired of those Crosoft's shits, so I'll switch to Ubuntu as my main boot and Windows 10 (maybe 11, but not for now) as a secondary, only for softwares and (mainly) games that can't run on Linux.
