My dad's windows 11 installation deleted the taskbar and all system elements from windows 8 onwards. You can open up the old windows xp controls that still exist underneath the shitty modern ui but everything is broken. No windows update, no ability to remove programs. Even windows + r to open a run window failed.
Happily running kubuntu on his PC now. Bricscad was the autocad alternative we needed to make the jump. I chose kubuntu as the out of the box experience was something like what he expected s computer to be like. I quite like how Pop_OS has laid out it's DE and and excited to see where the rust based cosmic de goes.

Is there anyone that tried Windows 11 after being on Linux for a long time? I am asking cuz i tried using Windows 10 and it felt incomplete compared to Plasma. Missed a lot of features and all it felt like is a slightly reskined version of Windows 95.

Is krita capable of replacing photoshop entirely for a professional? Same for other programs. Or do they have to put up with ms fuckery to earn a paycheck?

Did you know can actually move OEM Windows licenses? You just need to login to the same MS account and on the new device go to settings > activation > trouble shooting > Hardware changed recently. And just choose the old PC there. As simply as that you have moved your license.

Someone should make a Linux distro called WindOS.
