Windows 11 is ok, just like windows 10 was ok. It's not great, but it's not satan's asshole like some people make it out to be. Most use it because they don't really have a choice due to software constraints, or simply because they've been using windows for forever and that's all they know.

Personally I use linux because I like it more, though I still have a windows install for flightsimming. I think that it's a perfectly fine operating system for the 80-90% of people who don't care and just want their computer to be an appliance to get on social media or get work done.

That's fair, I just like windows and that's really all there is to it. I've had a few Linux installs in the past, but never really found an advantage to anything except compiling this one specific python library, but these days I can do that very easily running WSL, VS code SSH'd to my server or more recently a jupyter server that I can connect to from any device with a web browser.

Now macOS on the other hand, I absolutely despise. It was one of the first OS's I learnt to use back in primary school, and now that I have to use it for work I have absolutely no nice things to say. Unintuitive, missing basic features and slow to navigate, and I can assure you that none of this is due to unfamiliarity...
