I’m honestly amazed the windows 11 percentage is that high.

    I "upgraded" to 11 because of auto HDR, which does work quite well. I'm suspicious of this, however, and I'm sure that auto HDR should work just fine on 10, but they made it exclusive to 11. I knew I was being manipulated into switching but I was having lots of problems getting HDR to work on my machine.

    I can’t think of a single “feature” that Windows 11 brings that couldn’t easily be backported. I remember when 10 was new, there were actually major changes to the way certain things worked for the better and those were at least there to balance out any negatives.

    With 11, all they did was add a fresh can of paint and bombard a series of garbage AI updates. AI features literally written by AI. I don’t know anyone who has a mentioned a single nice-to-have that wasn’t already in 10.

    🤷‍♂️ I bought my old PC in 2020, got Windows 10 for it. 11 was a free upgrade via Windows Update, so I just updated. I'm here wondering how old everyone's PC is who are gamers. Bought a new PC this year, left my Windows M.2 stick in the old PC, did a new installation of Arch in the new PC, and left the old Arch install as a media server.

    Are people daily driving and gaming on like 10-year old systems? When did those TPM modules become common in CPUs?

    Yep. I only got some extra SSD, RAM, and upgraded my graphics card in the last 10 years. I can't ― nor do I care to — play modern AAA so it's been fine. Also, even if I were to just upgrade my whole system tomorrow, it wouldn't be for using W11.

    Right, but if you did, you'd pick W11, I assume, if you're a Windows user? No reason to choose an abandoned version.

    I suppose so, since I wouldn't really have a choice.

    Thankfully, I've said good bye to Windows a few months back already.
