I could probably tolerate Windows 11 if:

  • the start menu search didn’t search the web and just searched my system.
  • the widget panel wasn’t just a wrapper for their shitty news aggregator that seems to only gather celebrity news
  • If I have windows pro, I don’t want notifications to use Edge or see TikTok, Amazon, Candycrush, etc. in the start menu (I know they aren’t downloaded but what “pro” wants any of that shit)

the start menu search didn’t search the web and just searched my system.

Windows 10 has the same problem, that one isn't unique to 11.

Widgets I don't think there's anything that can save that. 10% of the space is set aside for actual widgets, the rest is just their "news".

Windows 10 was the start of the enshittification. Windows 7 was the best version of Windows, by far.

Ah, I skipped 8 and 8.1 but I didn't really hear much complaining at the time.
