Oh goodness yes. I was forced from Linux to W11 Pro for my new job. Use wsl2 they said, it'll be fine.
And wsl2 is mostly fine. But that doesn't stop the rest of the OS from being a dumpster fire. Why is it asking me to install or play Xbox games constantly? It feels like I have malware...
> Why is it asking me to install or play Xbox games constantly?
Because Microsoft got too large and some manager of Xbox pressured the Windows team to allow such notification to boost up their KPIs (games installed, game hours played).
Telemetry and KPIs are the single worst combination of bullshit that has happened to the entire IT industry.
I jumped ship over a decade ago and have been using Linux Mint as my daily driver; there hasn't been one day I've regretted it. Seeing the recent news about the constant full-screen Windows Backup/OneDrive popovers and needing a Microsoft Account just to install the OS (they recently killed the OOBE workaround) is just the stale icing on this dumpster fire of a cake.
Don't even get me started on all the AI crap in Edge.
