Honestly I'm already not a big fan of Windows 10 so if Microsoft tries to force me to download Windows 11 with all these nonsense AI features that spy on you I'm just gonna switch to Linux

I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.

I find it really sad that it has come so far that feelings like these exist. That should be a matter of course. Instead, it has become a special feature.

I switched last week. It was pretty easy with only a few small issues.

Same! It was actually a pretty big surprise that Mint worked flawlessly out of the box on my crappy pre-built PC. Everything's working great including the printer! I'm seriously impressed.
