The full screen "it's time to upgrade to Windows 11 and set up all these AI features" popup was the last straw for me. This is finally a Windows-free home.

Obligatory Linux plug

I have been using desktop Linux for 20 yrs. It's insane how bad windows has gotten and how much Linux has improved.

any computer still using hardware that's not compatible with windows 11 will need to be replaced soon anyway

I use a Haswell Xeon server as my desktop. It's not only fast enough for 10 but I run 10 with Linux VM's.

It could run 11 but MS won't let me.

Weird coincidence, I just had to replace my Haswell Xeon because of motherboard drath (and while the chip is probably still good, I'm not about to go mobo hunting for a 10yo mobo).

Biggest irony, now that I can install 11, I'm using the opportunity to just install Linux.
