    Compared to Linux adoptions (and I mean every distro combined), the adoption of Windows 11 is ginormous.

    The reason it was “forced down throats” is because the average user doesn’t give a shit and would still be on Windows 2000 if it came with their computer.

    Yet they would still blame Microsoft if anything went wrong.

    For comparison, if people adopted Linux the same way, you’d have people still on Corel Linux.

      I was thinking more in terms of MS locking out everything prior to Coffee Lake or Zen+ from running Win11, rendering a lot of otherwise still viable hardware obsolete, killing off Win10 GAC, and essentially forcing the purchase of a new PC with Win11 installed.
