Been working with windows since Win 1.1. While I am not a fan of new GUI changes, I have found over the years that it does not take me very long to get used to the new layouts. I ran Ubuntu many years ago but at the time, was not impressed enough to want to switch. I maintain 6 systems in my household and it is more important to me to keep them all on the same OS version than whether it is Win10 or 11. Of course this is a problem right now because Win11 will not run on even slightly older hardware due to the new security requirements. However, It is not that big of a deal and I will eventually replace the mainboard on that computer anyway.
Everytime I go to the latest Windows or Office I ***** about the changes for a week or a month and then forget about what irritated me in the first place.
I have to use MS products at work, so using anything different at home would mean just one more thing to keep up with.
As far as Spyware built into Google, MS etc, that is just becoming a fact of modern life. Even our cars are sharing data on us. Welcome to 1984 a few decades late.
