So far in the last year or so, I've heard 0 reasons why I'd even need, want or benefit from Win11 over Win10. Tons of reasons in the negative column though. There isn't even anything to salivate over that might make you think it might be worth it to deal with the other tradeoffs. Hard pass.

Unfortunately, there's one very big reason you'll need Windows 11: that Windows 10 won't get security updates forever. After October 14th, 2025, you'll need to "upgrade" to it to stay secure.

That's 4 good years to wait and see.

I left Windows desktop for Linux two years ago, and what I realize now that took a while to happen was a shift in mentality:

- When you use Windows, you consume the OS. Everything about it is given, all you do is take.

- When you use Linux, you take part in a give-and-take relationship with the OS, because the OS is attached to a community that works on it, around it.

Using Linux means that you're not going to have everything given to you on a silver plate. But you also get to make your own silver plate and pass it around.

Probably we have very different use cases. I use my laptop to browse, edit documents, develop programs and transfer/view media files. In all these I'd very much like to not even know I have an operating system. So the major difference is I'm not using the laptop to have relationships, with it or with some community, and the less I need to fiddle outside the above use cases, the more I appreciate the experience.
