 enjoy the backdoors 
 it’s in a VM but I hate every bit of it

I will try again to run it with wine but that didn’t work out well 
 tiny11? 
 no, will see if I can debloat it in a way that works post-install 
 nevermind this is dogshit why did I even try 11 
 😂 yea but i imagine you're using it to verify compatibility for something? I'm that case maybe unavoidable? 
 I can also just use Win10 
 Blue screen of death ☠️ YAY 🥳  
 Work computer auto updated to win 11 this week. Got a notification early one day 
 Even in the design they make mistakes, it even looks like a bluescreen 😂 
 Still holding strong. I get the notification to switch every month or so. 
 I need it for a VM only 😂 
 Oof. Every time I install its a shiftiest of dark patterns and intrusive features.

Windows for consumers is literally a financial scam. They have those services like Bing so they force it into Windows so some number go up on a dashboard so they can lie to their shareholders that there is interaction with these platforms like Bing that no one uses. 
 It was funny (not really) when Windows 10 started to push users to update to 11. There was not even an attempt by Microsoft to answer the question "why?". I even Googled it and didn't find any meaningful answers to that.

Apparently they just thought that people would think that bigger number = better.

11 is worse than 10, nothing major but I haven't noticed a single thing that would be better than with 10. I've heard others having really weird problems, and the spying features have definitely been kicked up a notch and are more difficult to turn off.

Really considering switching to Linux.
