This is a joke I guess, but actually the new debian release is pretty sweet. Plasma is getting real good these days, if you care about that sort of thing.
I would recommend OpenSuse 15.5. Python3.6 is very old, but the version number is even higher and it works flawlessly
I've been using Windows 11 for about a solid year now. Had zero issues gaming and using various programs. Transition from 10 was flawless.

No, as a man of culture I use Linux.
(Lol just gotta get a dig in, can't resist. I know gaming isn't 100% there yet but Steam and their Proton are making great strides in recent years.)
Man I know, I tried linux about 3-4 months ago and it is getting so much better. If I wasn't on an nvidia card I would probably be running fedora full time.

I've been on windows 11 for about a year now, so far I've noticed no difference from Windows 10 in terms of cracked games. Come to think of it, I haven't had a single game that didn't run.
On Windows 11 for some games you have to get the pirate version. For me, my legit copy of NFS MW wouldn't install so I had to use a cracked version. In fact the only issues I've had with Windows 11 full stop are because of Nahemic.
That is so sad.

Every time I think about updating to windows 11 I see something like this lol. first the vr thing and now pirated software not running properly?
TBF it was during the first few months of release. I want to believe that it was just early release related bugs.
yeah I was thinking just the other day "oh it's probably fixed by now so it's okay to update" and then I see this today haha
nope. absolutely will only update when i "have" to
Switched to 11 when it came out and haven't looked back. I'm also one of those weirdos that uses Edge browser in Linux....
Edge in Linux is a crime against humanity.
Repent sinner 😂
Find me a browser that does vertical + pinned tabs as good as Edge does and I will repent ;)

this is the way...
I've been on it since it released, and other than the UI differences, I haven't even noticed a difference. If anything, it's actually a bit faster.
The calendar flyout still can't show your agenda, like in Win10. The 'widget' section is still full of unremovable MSM spam. It still installs ad-ware on major updates.
I hate it because of that.
Yeah I'm not a fan of Microsoft's current implementation of widgets. I would just disable them entirely if possible.

With significant modifications under the hood (massive Registry changes for the Windows Explorer folder tree to simplify it back to rational XP standards... no libraries, nothing except for the hard drive folder tree) and a replacement start menu (StartIsBack, because Open-Shell isn’t working for Win11 yet), and Win11 is actually working quite well for my Octogenarian father. And he’s of the age where change comes very badly for him, which is why I needed to make some serious open-heart surgery on Win11 to modify things back to an XP look-and-feel. But it is doable, it just takes some time and occasional maintenance to ensure it stays usable.
it pretty much just feels like windows 10.1 to me, pretty similar imo but there are a few differences. virtualizing android apps makes it worth it for me.

Related question, any recommended way to "get" a copy of Windows 11? Assuming no glaring bugs
I've always used Rufus to download Windows ISOs. It should let you download the latest major Win 11 release. I just used it last week in fact to make a quick bootable USB at work to reimage a device with 11 on it.
That gets a clean and uncracked copy I think?
It's not activated, if you need to activate it look up Microsoft Activation Scripts, should be a GitHub link
Edit: to properly answer your question, yes it should be clean and uncracked if you download through Rufus.
Awesome thanks. Sounds easy enough.
Here's the GitHub for the activation scripts. Takes like 30 seconds to do it. I'm amazed at how trivial its gotten to pirate Windows
Does anyone else find it kind of funny that a Microsoft service is hosting code to let you use another Microsoft service.
And don't forget that time that a Microsoft Support employee used MAS to activate a customer's Windows because the legal/official method wasn't working.
I remember reading this. I found that hilarious
Even better, there’s been a case where Microsoft Support has used it themselves.
I realised this as I was pulling up the bookmark "Wait, doesn't Microsoft own GitHub now?" lol
I honestly don't think they care, as long as people are using Windows.
I don't think Microsoft cares since they shouldn't be making a lot of money from retail keys anyway. A majority of users get an activation key when they purchase their computer. And businesses use volume licensing. A small minority of people who pirate an activation key is not a lot of money lost in the big picture.
Also with the amount of telemetry going on in Win 11, the data they collect more than makes up for the slight loss in revenue.

I've been daily driving it since release, I don't recall any Win11 specific issues that happened to me, did a reinstall once due to CPU upgrade
Had to do some of my own tweaking of course, like removing that dumb new right click menu, but it just works.
idk, I guess I like being an early adopter, switched to Win8 even before 8.1 came out
5800X3D and 4070 (1070Ti initially) btw

I hate it because of that.
I personally LOVE Windows 11. The new Windows Terminal feature alone is worth the upgrade. Used to Microsoft writing shitty software, but some of their stuff on TCE is great, namely PowerToys and wsl2/gwsl
