Windows 11 is horribl.e My exit plan is to move to windows 10 LTSC. I have some MSDN keys. I'll worry about that one day in the future though. I just exited the Apple ecosystem so I'm still getting my stuff together.

I also don't have the nerves for Linux. I want the computer to be a thing to solve problems not a thing to cause problems to solve :)

That is only true of Linux for specific things like gaming, or if you cannot resist the temptation to try stuff and tinker.

Even having moved to a relatively unstable/problematic Linux distro (Manjaro) do not find myself spending any more time solving problems than when I used Windows (which as a long time ago, so not applicable to current Windows).


It's really not though. I've run Linux on physical hardware as a side concern for the last 25 years and it's mostly a pain in the ass, even right up to now with things like sudden power drain, sleep problems, WiFi fucking out, high DPI issues etc. I don't have the time for that shit.


You don't consider the first paragraph "a problem to solve"?


I'm slowly boiling myself into a portable software space. I have a couple of hard requirements that force me to use windows (or macOS) that i can kill in the next 2 years. I can put the LTSC migration off until 2025 and I can then push the LTSC EOL decision off until 2027. That's 4 years. A lot changes in that time.
