Windows 10 is still by far the most widely used, despite 11 being
three years old.

It is.
However, do you know what is involved on the back end to convert to a new version of an operating
system?
Hint: It far more than the user hitting the "Upgrade I like it button".
Hint: number 2 is risk vs reward.

I think people do know what they're avoiding in Win11. I avoid it by
not using any Windows. Staying with an older version doesn't appeal
to me.

And of course, if you're on an older version you run the risk of being
unsupported and also M$ trying to force you to upgrade.

Of course not. Everywhere else in life, a free or cheap product or

But GuhNoo/Linux? You can't give it away.

Your real life is based on Windows. Your tinkertime, end-in-itself

Larry is actually correct, and yet not a great example of his own
assertion. His so-called handrolled distro is junk. If he'd use what
I use he'd see how easy it is to get a good GUI that isn't bloated.

That's why millions of people download this "give-away". It's a good
