atheist99013yLol, I tried. I think for the simple use case, it's fine, but my setup is complicated, and they seem to have drummed everything down

Honestly? Dropping security updates for ppl who don’t have a very specific tech in their computer and terminating the support for 10 in a year is kinda of dick move. Not hyped, not in love, largely annoyed.

kamen69883yIf they do something sensible with the UI, I might switch. I can totally get used to the new thing, that's without a doubt, but it's a matter of principle. It's stupid that they keep dumbing things down and that they keep getting away with it. My current gripe is the Start menu. In Windows 10, as much as some people don't like it, you can arrange icons/tiles in Start just the same way you can on the desktop - and thus you can keep a spatial sense of what's where; in a dumbed down list you can't do that in the same way. It happens that I get distracted and I forget the name of what I want to launch next, but I can get reminded when I open the menu and see it where I expect to see it - again, can't quite do that with a dumb list of icons.

@stop I'm only at 10, but will upgrade to 11 soon, the 5.x kernel seems to boost performance a lot over the 4.x kernel used by 10.

@piratefox they havent dropped security updates. What I understand microsofts announcement as, is that they will not specifically create a security update for a hole that only exist on non-TPM computers, or a processor vuln (like spectre) for a depreciated processor.
But if a security update exist, u will get it. -
@sebastian the problem is that those are the great majority of computers, especially in offices

@sebastian I'd recommend to refrain from the term stable
The term GA / general availability is a very precise term... It's available and should work. Stable is a claim no company should make, given every product has bugs -
@piratefox The slight majority (55% actually) right now, true. However, most of them will not be around in four years anyway.
