I run Windows 10 on my own laptop and Windows 11 on my work laptop. Sluggish is the right word for W11: every action seems to take more clicks, more time and more effort. I suspect it’s partly because the animations are slower because it needs to load more bullshit.
I found this interesting. When I had it, I was actually retroactively downgrading it to Windows 10’s start bar but removing all the little shortcut applications. I don’t like advertisements, and found it infuriating that they had thinly veiled ads everywhere.
I really hate that they’re basically bullying people into upgrading. It’s such shit. I really do miss some of the applications I used to use. I am not a “power user” and while I can learn things on my own, I think a part of that requirement is to cultivate a want to do so. So while I miss some applications I used to use, I still don’t miss them enough to figure out how to properly emulate them in the Linux environment.

Parts of the 11 start menu are actually a react native app.
