the main thing stopping me right now is that I want to distro hop from Pop OS to Manjaro Xfce because I found out that gnome (the desktop environment deeply integrated into Pop OS) uses JavaScript in its core (like windows 11) which I believe causes too much latency and stuttering for me to handle
in case anyone was wondering, I hopped to Manjaro last night and found out immediately afterward that this distro has had many problems in the past and not many people like it so I am probably better off installing plain Arch (might distro hop again today, oh well why not)
Post automatically merged:

Oh no! Please don't force people to take 5 seconds to change a built in Windows setting.
until they decide to remove that setting

I'm trying to ignore the rest of the shilling in your post so will not reply to that

To be fair, PopOs is no longer a recommended distro in most circles. They’ve become the thing they swore to be against… stagnant…

For Arch, I prefer EndeavourOS. Works great, gets the same updates and streams as Arch. Just removes the “fun” of setting up the OS. Haven’t tried Cachy yet, but I hear good things.

There are clear options in the UI for several of the things people have complained about.



You don't need to fear monger Win11. You clearly don't like it which is fine. As I've already stated, my point was not being fine with telemetry. My point was people bashing Win11 and praising Win10, when Win10 also has telemetry. And also the fact that most people that bash Windows for telemetry are crickets about the data harvesting in 101 other things they use.

I have absolutely ZERO popups happening. That's something on your end.



There you go again, not knowing the difference between objective and subjective. The new start menu is SUNJECTIVELY worse for you. Get it straight.

Context menu doesnt require a registry hack. Obtuse? Just hold shift while right clicking, genius.

All of your complaints seem to be with cosmetics and "clicks". Nothing you're stating makes Windows 11 "objectively" shit. It's fine if you don't like it, but stop acting like your opinions are the be all end all. I've already pointed out where you're completely wrong about several things soooooo.... yeah. I don't have any of the problems you do. Your complaints are 100% subjective.



I have ZERO ads or headlines being shoved down my throat. Anyone that does is doing something wrong on their end. There are very few settings in the og control panel that are not in the settings app. And how often does one need to swap back and forth? Do you spend 5 hours a day in the control panel and settings? Most everything is set once and done. Non issue. Not to mention the fact you can simple search for the setting in the start menu. For example simply start typing "taskbar" and it brings up the setting to align the start menu on the left. Don't even have to fully type out the word before it shows up.

Again... people complaining about having to change some settings after the initial installation of Windows. Ya'll acting like you don't need to do that with Linux is hilarious.

I've called out the fear mongering nonsense and have proven my points clear as day. The majority of the complains are 100% subjective. When I refer to fear mongering I am referring to all of the complains OUTSIDE of the telemetry. I do not feel that the telemetry is okay and do think mentioning it is fear mongering. My only point with that end of things is people making comments similar to "Screw Win11 spyware!!! I'm sticking with Win10!", which makes no sense whatsoever given the fact Win10 also has T3H SPI3ZWar3Z.
"Again"? I think you're confusing me with someone else.

Features that are not in any way intrusive and are used by many people add something positive. Removing those features takes away something positive. You don't have to personally use or care about those features to understand that that is objectively a step back. But nice bait.

I'm going to leave you to your trolling now, have fun.

you were right that it's fun to setup Arch, I got it almost how I want it, but damn I swear if I didn't have GPT 5 telling me what to run (yes I verify commands) then I'd probably still be wading through that wiki

Wow everyone! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! So, I've concluded there are the:

- Linux forever people/Microsoft is terrible recently people
- Windows 11 is bearable people
- Windows 11 is unusable/trash people
- Windows XP, 7 was peak, (and are apparently still using it?) type of people people
- And the guys who made a mistake upgrading and are now in the process of downgrading

I wouldn't trust Statcounter as a reliable source to see how many people are using different versions of Windows. This info is derived from what user agent your browser has, as they're particularly focused more on browser market share. It's truly possible that with the rise of AI data scraper bots, that user agents can be faked to say that a browser is running on Windows XP or Windows 7 to circumvent blocks on websites. This has happened a few days ago with the recent small spike in market share for Windows 7.
