Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?
What will do you?

Microsoft never seems to stop making it harder to use Windows. At this point I have Windows 10 relegated to a USB SSD, and I only boot it in extreme circumstances. I have tried to install Windows 11, and it’s just not happening. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows to Go years ago, and the installer simply will not play nice with my disk setup. I sunk more hours into troubleshooting Windows 11 installation than I have with any Linux distro I’ve used, and I still walked away without a working install.
So at this point it’s all Linux, (almost) all the time.
I’m not going to lie and say that using Linux is a perfectly smooth experience. It’s not. But neither is using Windows. As Thomas Jefferson once said: “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.” The inconveniences of Windows are only getting more severe as time goes on.
