In effect, it will be for some people fed up with all this bullshit.

As someone who switched to Linux primarily because of Windows 11's never ending BS (bugs, resource mismanagement, etc) and the inevitably end of Windows 10, I can confirm that Windows 10 will be my last.

I'd say the most extreme bullshit began with Windows 10. At least the threat of "upgrading" to it was the final push to Linux for me.

It was for me. 11 was the reason why I switched to Linux.
