It’s unusable and they vibe coded the entire thing.
We had to switch back to windows 10 at work due to the issues we had with 11. Now my computer is permanently broken with many default applications that simply do not work and my IT department can’t figure it out.
Windows recently “hung up” when opening “network and internet settings”, just a blank square.
Also, blank square when opening “file explorer”.
Both are working now; my point is I couldn’t accomplish basic tasks in the usual way, fundamentally basic settings. First time this has happened to me. I am old and have been using Windows since there were screensavers. That you would buy. For money. On a floppy disk.
I can ignore them just fine since I am no longer using Windows.
I haven’t used Windows for more than 10 years and I’m happy too.
I think it’s worth repeating that Ubuntu has been available since 2005 (20 years now) and from the start it filled the needs of most users at home (i.e. watching crap on YouTube and using LibreOffice). Most users I have seen around me only have basic requirements and should have switched decades ago.
TL;DR: if you complain about your computer nowadays and don’t play games, install Ubuntu or Mint or anything else, I don’t care anymore.
Even playing games on Linux is much better now thanks to Steam. Never a better time to change. I want my next phone to have Ubuntu Touch as well. Fuck the horrible Google/Apple ecosystem.

Oh wow! Replaceable battery.
The new Start menu is also a significant improvement over the old one, with more icons on show, the ability to turn off Recommended ads, […]
Guys, we are allowed to disable the ads now. We might have been too harsh on microsoft after all.
…insanity, I tell you. Ads, in your face, right in the Start Menu, on your computer that you bought, on your OS that you bought.
Note that it doesn’t disable ads. It just means the ads a user sees will be less relevant to the user based on their browsing history and consumer profiles.
I switched to Manjaro and it’s like nothing has changed for the work I do now.
At work we use windows and I don’t imagine that will ever go away. I don’t know enough about this stuff anyway, but I think there is to much work and risk involved to change.
