I use Arch btw.

I am still gaming on windows 10 pro. I am not downgrading to 11. Windows 7, and 10 is the sweet spot for windows, except you can't play steam games on 7.

you want it running all the servers only, then?

It didn't breakbbreak it just bugged and stuff with internal names od the files and real names and that. Even if it did break users could just use the console but I'm not expecting anyone on wintoes to do that.

No, read the article

but it broke onedrive too so the ppl can't even "buy" the storage.

Yeah sorry, that's absolutely broken behavior and completely unacceptable, especially for paid software.

If there's internal file names why the fuck can't I rename a file while it's open in a program?

This operating system is garbage from a design perspective let alone its implementation

I guess there is a kind of disaster affinity that keeps people watching out for the newest ways in which it is?

Bless your heart.... Never go into IT and for the love of all that is holy, don't get a system admin job... The world is a beautiful place until you're knees deep in the shit

Yesterday the settings app crashed because I pressed the back button.

Today Windows started shutting off for absolutely no reason at all, just gone. Normally I would say ram, psu or memory. However the same computer runs Linux just fine. I resolved the issue by removing windows from the computer.

I installed windows 11 the other day. I found out that I am not allowed to use my actual name as a username. The operating system is actually racist.

Everyone who uses windows is just coping at this point.

Windows update managed to get a system I only use for gaming into an unrecoverable state a few months ago. I know a bunch of windows sysadmins, trust me, you've been lucky, stability this year specifically is dogshit.

Also bitlocker has multiple backdoors which is a problem for corporate that I really cannot overstate

I didn't downvote you (for a couple of reasons¹), but I just wanted to share my experience: I've been playing games exclusively on Linux for a couple of years now, and it generally works well. Of course it depends on what games you play, and so your mileage might vary, but in some cases I even had a better experience on Linux than on Windows. Mostly due to not having to deal with windows shenanigans. (drivers, reboots, the usual).

But I agree with you that these stories are indeed overblown. Current Windows, with all its problems and everything, is still much better than any previous Windows. I'd still avoid it if I could, and you need to do things to make it behave sanely...

[1] The reasons: the downvote is not meant to be a "I don't like this", nor "I don't agree with this", but should be used to signal bad comments: spam, trolls, noise... Plus, I don't think what you said is wrong.

End task on explorer.exe and then run it again

File explorer is a shitty thing
