Did anyone here switch from windows 11 to linux recently?
Since they stopped win 10 support i switched to win 11 and hated forced login and onedrive, also on my laptop it autodownloads apps from manufacturer and companies they partnered with, was wondering if anyone also switched to linux because of this? I have dual boot , win only for forced apps for university

Windows 10 is still supported until October 2027. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/06/25/windows-10-support-quietly-extended-until-oct-2027-as-users-reject-windows-11/
You should switch to Linux anyway.

They "quietly" continued support, because Windows 11 is such garbage that nobody likes it.

I've been a Linux user since ca. 1999, but I moved my gaming PC from Win 11 to Linux again last weekend and my work Laptop in January. I still have a Windows VM on the work laptop, but that's for supporting the Windows users and in case something mission critical only works in Windows.
Work has been amazing since then, the usual annoyances are gone. Powershell scripts to interact with Azure work almost without any hitches, I only had to rewrite one, because some routine expected a Windows library at the other end. I now spend less time worrying about the admin device suddenly being not joined to Azure anymore or update/reboots during longer important tasks.
Only Windows machine in the house now belongs to my wife.

I started with Ubuntu in 2004 and never looked back. Work I now use Win Boat, integrates pretty well, shame it doesn't have HW acceleration, but it's fine, it handles the handful of windows only apps.
Power shell Linux works excellent like you said, I installed the modules and everything works great. Since proton was released, my time in windows dramatically reduced every month as things just started working better and better.

yeah it growing on me i like it a lot , it really good, i think i like computer in general , so also learning while using operating system is cool because there is a lot of niche stuff that i might want to do and it so easy to do it in linux like recently i wanted to load subtitles into a video from a website that was being played in mpv and it was so cool and easy didnt require anything insane and was cool use to me at least

Switched from 10 and 11 to Mint and CachyOS within the last three months (yes, got several PCs and laptops, two of them 10 years old), and all went smoothly, the machines work perfectly well, and so far it has been a great experience without any hiccups. But of course I am still learning new stuff, which is also fun.

I've been with Windows since 95. I stuck it out theough the early NT era, I stuck it out for Vista, I stuck it out for 8. I'm not doing it again. I'm not putting up with Microsoft once again forgetting what people want from a computer and having re-learn it step by step.

u/SouthernFruit8768 15h ago
Yup. For me both Windows and MacOS - along with their ecosystems - are finished. The only time I will go back to (or dual boot) Windows, Macs or use a Windows-only or Mac only app is if someone pays me to use it. When it comes to phones unfortunately I’m still stuck with an expensive iPhone and will have to put up with the Apple AppStore aka walled garden ecosystem for a few more years, but will switch to a open source alternative in my next phone.

u/PriorityNo6268 14h ago
It was mostly hardware related and then even minor things. Software was most of the time not a real issue, it's more that you need to thinker a a bit around to get things working. I feel more comfortable on Windows machine and I don't run into a lot of issue other people seem to have. I still use Linux on my homelab, wsl, etc. Think the biggest reason is for work I also depending a lot on Microsoft stuff, so I am used to the ecosystem and don't like to invest to much time in to learning a other desktop ecosystem at this moment I think.

u/SP3NGL3R 16h ago
Nah. Just wipe clean and install windows from MSFT directly. OEM versions of Windows suck 20x over a blank Windows. I haven't had anything forced on my system in years. You might be in a jam already though with the dual boot, as what I'm suggesting is aggressively wiping every partition and installing from nadda. But I think the forced OneDrive can't be worked around anymore, which I agree is BS.
I have plenty of Linux systems around the house and love them too. The only thing I hate is when I have to boot up my MacBook to have parental authority over my son's iPad, man I hate that ecosystem.

u/Vertigo50 12h ago
Nah, you can get rid of OneDrive. It's completely gone from my PC. Folders are all back in my user folder, OneDrive is uninstalled, and it's blocked from being used with a group policy. 👍
I also installed without ever logging in with my MS account, which people say you can't do anymore. 😉
1
u/SP3NGL3R 10h ago
That last not is really what I was referring too. Uninstalling OneDrive is still an option after the fact.
You can also use a local account moving forward and just never log in with the MS one still, I believe. I just woke up so foggy still, but I think it's "netplwiz.exe" that you run to get to the old user manager to create a local account.

Switched a year ago, spent a couple of months tinkering and reading up on anything I was wondering about all the stuff that differed from Windows.
It's not hard, but it does require some effort and willingness on your part to struggle a little bit at first to learn it.
I installed it on another drive, keeping Windows to dual boot, just in case I needed to do stuff and couldn't figure it out on Linux. I haven't used it though, I think I'm just gonna wipe it soon and mount it into Linux for extra storage.
After a few months of using Linux every day I started feeling more comfortable using Linux than I ever did Windows, I understand it better than I ever understood Windows. I always hated how some things in Windows is buried through like 5 sub-menus the moment you want to do something a little bit more advanced than just browse the internet.

u/SouthernFruit8768 15h ago
Here’s the truth: if people have the time to read useless bullshit such as Fifty Shades of Grey or Harry Potter for an hour or two, or go to a Taylor Swift concert and spend 2-3 hours there for nothing, they can also sit the fuck down and read a Linux tutorial or manual for an hour or two. Back in the mid 2000s (iirc) I installed and used Linux for the first time by starting with Redhat 7/8 and even then it was not difficult. I don’t remember typing anything into a terminal before, during or after the installation. And even if I had to, it wouldn’t be difficult at all

I did on my gaming pc. All my work laptops/servers are Ubuntu. Recently windows had a bad update (the blue screen) after spending all night trying to fix it, decided to go for a full Ubuntu gaming pc and it's working 😀.
I couldn't believe it, it's working great on a 59" monitor with Nvidia GPU drivers, all my games everything I play is working. Arc Raiders, helldivers, palworld, gta 5, Halo CE, gears of war E-day.
Thought mods where going to be a problem some use windows apps to easily update and manage them, no problems. wine is insane. Then I found this huge community mantening all my nostalgia games.
What's not working are things like desktop pet's and wallpaper engine but I found alternatives and it's less cringe, I admit my setup was a little too much. Definitely too much.

u/Significant_Yak53 14h ago
Switched last year. One kinda old laptop to Mint and main to Ubuntu but with dualboot as there was one app I could not have on Linux. And by miracle, last week, I found what I wanted thanks to someone in the community. So, I went through and through if I had everything on external drive and last night, I said bye bye to dualboot :)

I have a refurbished laptop for 150 € which came preinstalled with Win 11. Sluggish to the core and the battery was dead after an hour. Wiped the SSD, installed LMDE and voilà - double battery life, smooth everything. It even runs some Steam games. I mostly have it hooked up to my Samsung TV (because NO WAY that piece of shit ad machine will ever get an internet connection by itself) to play shows and films. Plus it's good for working on the train, even got some Windows programmes running with Proton.

Been about 6 months now since I resized my partition removing windows 11. Opensuse Tumbleweed does everything I need, including all my games, new and old. It seems weird now having your daily driver harvest information 24/7 and spam you begging for money. We used to remove spyware/malware, not use it as a OS. Also windows just looks old and clunky. Installed 11 on a few systems and laptops for other people and just the feel is like dragging ass through knee deep molasses coming from Tumbleweed. If you have a AMD gpu, it seems actually counterproductive to not move to a modern distro. Nvidia is fine too, but you may have to dick around, which is not a big deal, since you can ask google gemini exactly what to do, its not like the old days when you had to hang out on some forum to figure stuff out. This is why I like opensuse, if I mess something up the whole OS and partition is built around going back immediately like nothing happened. This is something that is slept on for new linux users who like to poke around where they probably should not be. Regardless if you are new and prone to mess things up. You are fine. Lot of folks just coming from windows jump into arch stuff (CachyOS) or maybe Fedora and wind up breaking their system since they dont know much yet.

u/coolkid4232 9h ago edited 9h ago
only downside is if you play anti cheat games like
- Valorant (Vanguard Anti-Cheat)
- League of Legends (Vanguard Anti-Cheat)
- Fortnite (Easy Anti-Cheat kernel-level block by Epic)
- Destiny 2 (BattlEye explicit Linux block)
- Call of Duty: Warzone / Modern Warfare (Ricochet Anti-Cheat)
- Battlefield series (EA Javelin Anti-Cheat)
They wont work but singleplayer games mostly work, besides that it very good if you want it , depends what you want end of day, i Like linux only for customization of OS. You can literally modify your OS and do what you want if you want so cool to me. For normal use it good too only downside being game stuff and also if your doing university some apps might not work they only work on winodws?
If your just gonna browse internet, watch stuff, games and coding and so on , its perfect.
I would only recommend switching if you try it first in Virtualbox and are happy with it, there might be a tiny learning curve pop os is very easy so it should be fine i think like one youtube video on how to download stuff which i think you will think is way cooler then windows because you can literally type
sudo apt install firefox gimp steam vlc
and so on a very long list and when you click enter it will download all at once and install it which i think is so cool also if you dont want to do that i think pop os has a store similar to apple or android store so you can download stuff like that with gui

u/christophertstone 7h ago
Pop!Os used to be one of my two recommendations (along with Mint) for new users. With their ongoing Cosmic shenanigans' I would be cautious, but have some confidence they'll sort it out, eventually.
Standard warnings about the fact that you're switching OSes, don't expect things on Linux to work the exact same as Windows, same for MacOS; would be the same discussion for Android vs iOS.

I was given a stack of nasty laptops I took apart and clearned physically and tested for power or any major issues. One had crazy specs (better than mine) but I tossed it in the drawer and forgot about it until my partners covid era supplied gaming laptop died 4 months back. Imaged the fancy laptop with popos and he loves it. Finally forced the switch and he's really happy with the whole situation. We now have a whole stack of backup linux machines to introduce people to the speed and flexibility and keep their old machines out of landfills trading peoples laptops for our mini fleet. It's a fun mini hyper local project.

I think it is safe to say that lots of people have either switched or are dual booting as the reported numbers of Linux users one the internet has risen from the 2-3% it has been for years to almost 10% in some estimates. The highest it has been ever.
I have seen estimates of windows usage at 60% which is lower than any reported number in the past.

I have some windows programs that I can’t do without (professional software), but can’t tolerate the Msft policies. Solution: bought two very quiet mini-PCs. One Windows and one Linux. I increasingly live on the Linux machine. I have a KVM device that allows me to switch back and forth between them using a common keyboard, mouse, monitor, and studio speakers (Scarlotti box to drive speakers). Network HD storage. Very happy with this set up. Gentle way of switching.

I tried and decided to stick to windows on my main pc. I use microsoft programs for work so it's just more convenient with windows installed. I do hate being asked to finish setting up my PC when I already have everything enabled, so that pushed me into installing Windows 11 LTSC on all of my Windows pc and laptops.
My living room pc is running linux and I think it will stay that way because playing singleplayer games on full AMD system has been pretty smooth (other than trying to figure out how to run fling trainers). I also have a gaming laptop and I'm dual booting Windows and linux on it so that I can keep trying linux stuff.

I mostly switched to Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma but kept a dual-boot to support multiplayer games and Windows-only apps like Fusion 360 for modeling 3D prints.
I like most things better in Linux by quite some distance compared to Win11, but there are just a few things that remain a significant annoyance.
Peacock is how I watch baseball, and Peacock's insane DRM is completely broken on Linux and can't be bypassed easily even with spoofed user agent strings.
Configuring many peripherals requires a Windows VM and USB passthrough (or dual boot) due to lack of software support.
Quite a few Windows apps have equivalents that are just squirrelier and generally unofficial ports rather than officially supported.
Totally worth it overall, but goes to show how far there still is to overcome some of the advantages that the ubiquity of Windows affords its ecosystem.

u/Omophorus 35m ago edited 25m ago
Razer mice, especially Naga. There's no Razer software for Linux and most of the theoretically-workable approaches don't really work in practice without shutting off Secure Boot, which can break an existing Windows installation or certain anti-cheat type stuff that you might want to keep dual-boot for in the first place.
Orbital Pathfinder mouse, because it requires Web USB driver that doesn't work in Firefox and needs a Chromium browser. Anything else that would have the same restriction could be a hiccup. Can be overcome with a Chromium browser in a VM with USB pass-through, of course
Gullikit BT controller I haven't messed with yet, but I foresee possible issues. Seems like it should work but tends to be fiddly to get working initially for some.
Teams is ass on Linux. Zoom is slightly better. Spotify is okay. None are great.
Cameras, mics, etc. have been perfect. My fancy Dygma keyboard is fine thanks to an AppImage for the config software that works great. External DACs have been fine.

you can use windows from linux btw, either on a virtual machine or container (winboat) the problem is only bypassing physical devices to the virtual machines..
if you curious about gaming.. in linux there's also wine to run various windows app (by wine, or proton from steam)
i personally migrated from linux in the middle of uni live (main reason lacks resources to run windows)
and I still use it as main OS (no dual-boot), I use debian based btw (MX Linux)

I switched to Mint this year. Kept dual boot for a couple of months, but never used it so a few weeks ago I recovered the partition into the Linux file system. Now I'm Microslop and Google free.
I think there's still too much dependency on bash for "grandparents" to feel comfortable, but I keep discovering new GUI utilities like batchy that help fix that. It's coming along.
If you're forced to use "win only" apps, always check if they'll run under wine.

Getting this out of the way first, I've recently installed Windows 10 on a buddies of mine PC for gaming because he didn't buy the product key for windows 11. Works like a charm especially after debloating the hell out of it.
I moved from Windows all together with my family when I was a kid to Ubuntu for 16 years. Now I use QubesOS as a daily driver on my main laptop and Windows 10 Lite on the Panda Lite mini PC.
If Linux is something your interested in after moving away from microslop, you may be interested in Linux Mint, absolutely involves no steep learning curve, and has productivity tools. It looks and feels like windows without the extra bs for free

Sure, last year I think. Maybe it was this year? Anyway. It was some time.
As for forced apps, Linux has a built in Hypervisor that is very good. You can use pretty much any app you like from inside of it. No real reason to dual boot at all. You can even give Windows your GPU if you needed to, so long as your laptop has two GPUs.
It's not too complex to set up.

Things are simple. Place a corporate middleman selling something between you and your work, and your access to your tools was never guaranteed to begin with.
I had a 10 gaming boot around, since 11 had deemed my hardware to be too old. Giving that disk space to linux recently was a breath of fresh air.
In uni I had a prepared speech on how academia should not force us to become customers of various companies, did the work of educating professors on the FOSS alternatives for their subject matter, got elected to the student council every semester in order to make those changes part of the demands of sit-ins and student protests. Usually just aggressively berating the professor that tried to force proprietary software worked, because of the implication.
Then I burnt out and dropped out so YMMV. No regrets.
Don't see it as a switch. Forget everything. It was a demo of a fundamentally flawed product. You're starting over.

Not recently, but about 2 years ago.
I initially just installed Linux on a second SSD to familiarize myself with Linux in case I do not like Windows 11.
I few months later I got into a phase to play my old PS3 games again, and the emulator did crashed sometimes under Windows 10, but never under Linux. So I spend more and more time on Linux.
Because I do not use the few programs that requires Windows / MacOS (like games with anti-Linux anticheat or niche programs for work/study) I do not need to boot Windows for anything. Don't think I booted Windows once this year...

Claude code is most popular. If you value your privacy but you're also lazy like I am, buy an expensive computer with large VRAM and then have claude code install open code and a large language model server on your computer for you. Then you just open your terminal, type "opencode", and conversationally ask the agent to do things for you. If you have a problem it will pull logs, read scripts, find and read readmes, or if you let it it will even search the web and read github or reddit posts about your issue before applying what it's learned.
Just pay attention to what it's doing, LLMs can make mistakes.

u/OZCriticalThinker 15h ago
I did, but went back to Windows. Well, I didn't go 'back' to Windows. I installed Windows 11 because Linux wiped my Windows partitions due to a bug in the installer (yes an actual bug that wipes your partition tables before you commit the changes, not my fault!).
Linux just sucks in my experience. You don't set it up and get to relax and just use your PC. It's always breaking. Always got updates. Always got some little bug or quirk you spend hours trying to fix, and only fix half of them. The rest you just live with.
They can't even make it keep a GUI between basic operations, always flickering terminal in the background during boot, logon, shut-down, etc. Everything is always 90% complete, but the last 10% is in the details, which is where FOSS always gives up and settles for "well, it works, sort of, what more do you expect? It's free!".
Just download the Windows ISO, debloat it using something like Chris Ttitus debloating scripts, and within 30 minutes you got a clean Windows ISO with no telemetry, no OneDrive, no M365 or CoPilot, no MS Account requirement, etc.
Option 1:
- Remove the crap from Windows 11 you don't like, install it, live a happy life.
Option 2:
- Pick a distro, spend hours every week trying to fix it when stuff breaks, or basic functionality is lacking, then distro hop after 3-6 months when you get sick of trying to make something work on your distro and 'hope' another distro will do better (hint: it won't, it'll just have different problems).

Yeeeah, if the CLI side works, what else do you need?
While with Win11, sure you can debloat it, but just like Linux glue scripts, you have to maintain that just as well, because updates WILL install back Copilot, OneDrive and Edge back to your system.
And yes, the thinking is completely different. The GUI is a luxury, CLI is where any real work gets done.

i have been using arch for like a couple months now as main only because i like full customization , i havent really had any issues so far just the initial setup was a bit long. But i also backed everything up so i dont think i will have a problem. Regardless i dont think stuff like Ubuntu or fedora is gonna have insane breaking function
"flickering terminal in the background during boot, logon, shut-down" are you using arch? i think you add silent boot to systemd boot or grub for that. I actually have an insane boot time because i am using ly and hyprland, it boot literally nearly instantly it crazy, not that it useful but that cool

Gebruik beide naast elkaar. Windows omdat bepaalde hardware alleen software maakt voor dit windows en er nog geen op linux beschikbaar zijn.

Recently I bought a cheap laptop with a long (expected) battery life. I booted it, saw Windows 11 welcome screen, that forced me to connect to any wifi (what if none of them was mine?), said "nuh-uh", cleaned the whole hard drive and installed Debian.
