    So if how good of a time it is to switch to Linux is always on an upward trajectory, then wouldn’t waiting to switch be the best thing to do?

      I would say no. Because the tolerability of maintaining the status quo with Microsoft has been on an ever steepening downward trajectory.

      “internet explorer” -listed as the first one. -Linux fans love their out-dated tech.

            Shouldn’t need the full blown Word to make a simple text document with different fonts and basic page layout options. WordPad is very lightweight, not like removing it saves any notable storage space.

              It’s not about storage space, it’s about maintaining two programs that do the same thing. With modern computers built for Windows 11 and not minimal spec, ram should be plentiful and cheap to add if needed. Any computer with tpm2 it shouldn’t matter with unless the build was bad to begin with.

        I’d be more peeved by them gimping the taskbar. I tend to put mine on the side of the screen with the icon size turned down to minimum in Win 10.

          I used to put my Taskbar on the left, set every window to be a separate selection in the Taskbar, add my Desktop folder to the taskbar, and then make the taskbar super wide so I could read all the open windows and select what I wanted.

          ALL of those options were removed in 11.
