Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update is reportedly a borkfest that breaks mouse, keyboard, WSL 2 and Wi-Fi functionality. Steer clear of KB5043145 if you're not into BSOD. (www.pcgamer.com)

Windows 10 gang here. If I wait a few years I'm sure 11 will be usable by the time 10 support ends.

Same with buying pc games.

I'd still be on 7 if it weren't for DirectXwhatever

You'll be on linux by then.

Whatever is after 11 should be decent if the rule to skip every other windows holds up. I'm... Not as optimistic as I once was, but time will tell.

Win11 might get "usable" in the same sense that 8.1 was "usable" closer to the end. It was still a turd. I'm sticking with my Windows10 install as long as I can, and later switching the gaming PC to Linux if necessary. Maybe even keep a partition or drive with 10 as a "retrobox" for when it's end of life. It's mostly old games that don't run well on Linux, anything more modern should be fine.
