If anything Microsoft will give up their advantage by making Windows 11 a UX dumpster fire. If Windows 11 had an official way to turn off all of the garbage and opt out of their monopolistic PM-brained “features” a lot of us who switched to Linux probably wouldn’t have happened.

i was using wsl2. and got weird slowness and high cpu. appeared it was their built in antivirus(av). i disabled av, but it autoenabled later and did same. it is possible to secure windows other way without active protection btw.

i used git on wsl2. it got weird issues with git connectivity over wifi. github ticket not solved. one of most popular and essential dev tools is not stably working in wsl2.

many rust crates supported only mac, bsd and linux. nobody cared windows.

so even without ux of recent version, i had to leave.

for my wife is still run windows.

but. she had fully official surface laptop with official office. not 3rd party or pirated things.

and... office became very very slow just typing... it was 3 years ago.

i have run script disabling all things. it good for 3rd year now.

but how they managed to make their laptop new one, with all their things so bad?
