I feel this in my bones. Can't tell you the number of times I've been working on some late night or weekend work emergency when fucking Microsoft throws some random unnecessary bullshit in my path. Haven't run into the Win 11 mandatory commercial yet. But MS is notorious for wasting our time with push notifications, Teams drama, mandatory updates, and slow ass software that glitches at the worst possible times.

MS lost the way years ago. They forgot that software is supposed to work for us. They demand we work for their shitty software.

"Just use Linux" indeed. Will be doing that in my retirement.

Whenever that switch to linux comes, I recommend linux mint.

Works out of the box, the community using it seems friendly and happy to help, and can be pretty easily configured to fit with windows habits.

Thank you for the recommendation. I have dabbled but have a lot to learn. Looking forward to it.

It seems like every other time I interact with teams I get a "ARE YOU AWARE OF THIS FEATURE" popup that I have to close before I can do whatever it was I was trying to do. It's annoying as fuck. Then there's outlook fucking up my view every time I open the calendar across all my work PCs.
