I have a MS Surface Pro tablet with W 11, I like it. Well, don't mind it.

I had a Surface Go tablet dual booted with Pop_OS with W only getting occasional use but I didn't bother when I upgraded to the Pro.

I do have a gaming laptop I'll stick to 10 on, and an older Dell AIO touchscreen with 10.

For an average user I'm not worried about it, and if you think because you're not running Windows you're not being tracked, all I've got to say is Psh!

Microsoft has pulled a lot of shitty shenanigans with Windows, ME, Vista, 8, switching things around, etc etc. Just make a stable fricking OS and stop stipulating "what users want"!!

One thing I can say in the Mac Vs PC, a few years ago I was doing computer repair at a retail joint. People would bring in their 10 or more year old MacBook to upgrade either memory or SSD. The OS was still the original from Apple and ran rather well. Windows on the other hand starts running like chit after a few years lol

I tend to doubt BG gives a crap what OS people are running, I think MS makes most of their money from business anyway, which they decide what they run.
