Microsoft shows full-screen Windows 11 upgrade ads with two 'yes' buttons

I think anyone who uses win 10 cares. Win 11 is shitshow. Tried it on my gaming machine a few months ago because I was curious.

The best thing about it was the ability to revert to Win 10. It was time limited - you could only do this within 1 week after the "upgrade". I explicitly paid money to Microsoft for a Win 10 license to be treated like this.

what was a shit show? I only have one windows machine with 10 on it and it's not compatible with windows 11, but I'll probably have to replace it as it's about 8 years old (but with relatively new drive and maxed out memory)

UX and general performance.

- In general, most things are implemented with even worse design and UX/UI taste than before. Example: Drop-down/context menus have these dead zones between every row, a few pixels tall, for no particular reason where no row is highlighted. That particular thing was driving me up the wall. It just makes no sense.

- So much weird jank in basic Win32 components.

Performance is way better for me on 11 than 10. Even on an unsupported cpu.

Could just give Linux a chance for gaming.
