    I really hope you didn’t pay 200 for Windows.

    All you people let them do it. When they started to restart your windows when Win10 came out and everybody just accepted to have their data being sent to microsoft, when you accepted to have candy crush installed without asking. Instead of making a protest by staying on 7 and showing that you don’t play their game you just let them do it and found justifications why it’s good. Well back in the day we warned everybody that it’s going to come to this and here we are. Downvote me all you want, it’s the truth and because of that windows is going to become a subscription service in the future, just you wait.

  6. Keeps_on_Lurking

    Paid 200 for his OS? Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

    It’s just Windows pushing people towards Linux. Another nudge to see if people will jump. They will keep pushing up til enough people jump. The issue is that Steam is making PC gaming a thing on Linux, so it’s a question of time now.

    How much time are you guys wasting sitting and watching the start menu?

  10. Mister_Shrimp_The2nd

    Another case of “why don’t people just upgrade from Windows 10??” -well, ads in the OS start menu is a good place to begin. Fuck no if that ever becomes a thing I’m purging my system.

    Instead of bashing Linux for no support. At least try to reverse the situation by dual booting. Linux works for the vast majority of stuff. If you want to use something extremely specific that doesn’t work boot into your Windows partition.

    If you don’t even try, how can you expect things to change lol?

    Please Linux finally figure out multiple screens and auto-scaling… And please steam figure out SteamVR Link for Linux.

    I want to fucking ditch this garbage product.

    If you paid $200 for an os from ms with ads in it, then you’re the reason they keep doing it.

  15. Westdrache

    I don’t know a single person who paid full price for windows, lol, I’m not saying this makes anything better, but I’m saying, no you didn’t pay $200 for windows…. You payed 5 bucks for an OEM key from ebay

  17. dallatorretdu

    don’t they offer the enterprise version anymore?
    for starters trek themed builds

    I just ran a debloater script from GitHub when I got my PC. Removed ads, all the random shit like candy crush, telementary, and AI whatever. Between that and having windhawk for making the taskbar smaller, I can’t say I’ve really had any complaints about windows 11

  19. SynthfusionDJ

    If you paid 200$ for the OS then it’s a you problem. For real. Windows is free.

  20. phara-normal

    I’ve been using 11 pro pretty much since launch and I’ve not seen a single ad..

    I’m literally using it right now on the newest version and there aren’t any ads no matter where I go.

    Also if you paid 200$ for a windows license you’re a sucker. And no need to link me to your comment about that, doesn’t change the fact that you’re arguing in bad faith when you claim people here paid 200$ or the fact that you’re a sucker if you actually did pay that.

  21. VAVA_Mk2

    I have to upgrade to Pro just to disable them in settings?

  22. gfunk1369

    This is why I am 99% on Linux now for most everything. I am not recommending it to everyone but it’s nice knowing I have an alternative to Microsoft whenever they decide to do something really anti-consumer in the future.

  24. random_reddit_user31

    Post like this are like those lights they have on the walls at takeaways attracting flies. Or in this case Linux fantics.

  25. Top-Conversation2882

    What else are you gonna do?

    Switch to Linux?

  26. draedek

    me who doesn’t have this problem because i’m still on windows 10 and refuse to “upgrade” until there is no option to decline 🤭

  27. OnyCollide

    this is why you just don’t pay $200 for it. piracy Is great.

  28. WeAreAllFooked

    This sub is like *Groundhog Day.* Do you guys think you’ll come up with something original to bitch about, or are we just going to continue posting the same tired complaint for the next decade so you can farm some karma?

  31. qu38mm

    Paying for windows. Can’t be me hehe

  32. Proper_Belt

    Sooo any Linux distros that will run like windows 10?

    Primarely needs are games and 3d printing.

    So like does chitubox work on linux?

  34. TrollularDystrophy

    MS knows they’ve got their portion of the market cornered. Those of us who use it in a business setting or prefer it at home are simply hostage to it now, they know that. It’s the same reason they keep shoving Edge down our throats at every turn, because they know they can.

  35. pirate135246

    Imagine paying anything for your os let alone $200 💀

  36. alfius-togra

    I’ve been unimpressed by Microsoft since they backtracked on Windows 10 being the last edition of Windows.
