just bad - spying, bloatware, close source
It's at least usable. Much better than Windows 8, certainly, if not as solid as Windows 7. And it hasn't gone as far into "YOU are the product" as Windows 11 has, even if it's gone farther than I want it to. (So. Much. Upselling.)
I actually downgraded a Microsoft-made tablet from Windows 11 back to Windows 10 a few weeks ago because it ran so much slower on the newer OS, and enrolled in the extra year of security fixes. That gives me a year to check out the state of driver support in Linux and tablet-friendly distros.
Oh my god... Windows 10 is starting to fall apart from security updates.
From my perspective, I hate this. Microsoft is ruining the operating system I used daily because it felt so slightly reliable than bloated Windows 11. Now I have to switch it, and it feels so unreliable... where so many bloated things I really don't use. At least I had that knowledge to debloat that freaking messy proprietary operating system into the possibility I will be using daily. At least I still had knowledge on installing Linux Mint or Arch Linux alongside Windows.
I don't want to get watched by horrible spyware where my movements get tracked! I don't want to sign in with a Microsoft Account! I just want to live in peace, but I can't.
Unfortunately I still need to do things efficiently in Windows because some applications I used for daily that is not compatible with Linux. For example, I used CapCut (Old Version) to edit videos to get things done. I played Roblox just to immerse myself into the virtual world to spend some of my free time for fun. These that I'm currently using so I can put my work through and move on!
I hope Linux grew stronger with a lot of compatibility where I can run Windows applications and everything else! Even my writing has few issues, or it's bad itself, I still do anything in power to give it and Windows 11 a one-star rating.
Certain games still can't be played on Linux because of the anti-cheat. I wouldn't do anything other than gaming on this OS. Microsoft spyware.
It has native spyware, and it isn't FOSS.
It should rather be called Spyware OS. Terrible in terms of privacy and stability is poor too.
I just started using this OS and enjoying it much. Far better than Windows 7 and all other previous Windows versions.
