What's so bad about win 11 as an OS? For me it's the most stable windows. Of course the MS crap they want you to include is bs, but that's not really the OS

Linux is fun! I installed mint ln, everything went well except my wifi wasn't working, spent a while downloading drivers, installing them, turns out I just had the wifi pw wrong. How embarass 🫢
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think 11 is pretty great from a technical standpoint. The only real issue I have is modern standby...I miss having laptops that actually go to sleep and aren't dead a day later. But that's a fight I've given up on.
Now...the ads, MS accounts requirements, tracking and telemetry, the pre-installed bloat like News (a glorified clickbait aggregator), Movies and TV, Office, etc. make what is technically fine into a garbage experience.

Windows 10 is good, so I don't trust the rest of this now.
Wasn't 98 the precursor to ME? I thought 2000 was the server version (or something like that)?
2000 was the first Windows with an NT kernel that was really usable on the desktop. Some may argue NT 4 but in 2000 almost everything worked as expected. XP was clearly better of course.
But you're right - ME was actually a successor to 98 and XP was the joint successor to 2000 and ME.

I liked Vista (I was never a RAM peasant & I liked the glass theme) and hated XP.
I was also always sad how Me was brutally sodomised by shitty third party drivers (who just renamed 98 drives).
I considered W8 and 11 just as mediocre moneygrabs or maybe a marketing stunt.
