And yet, whenever I see it, w11 feels like beta software to me. There’s apparently stuff being added and removed all the time. Broken updates every now and again…
I haven’t used Windows much for ages even though I tried to follow a little what was going on on that front, but it never felt that way with the previous versions.
Linux mint is not bad. Fedora is another good option. The overwhelming part is honesty the amount if options. But I would just pick a distro and install it, and you’ll have no issues with mint!
Do hacky workarounds to install Win11. If you make an install disc with Rufus there’s a checkbox to do this automatically. There’s no guarantee MS won’t bork your install at some point due to this, but so far it’s worked well for people.
Install Linux.
Stay on Win10 and lose software support from MS and your installed programs. This is risky, and the longer you do it the more risky it’ll get.
How long has windows 11 been out? Edit: Since October 2021.
Why do I use a “health” check to see if I can upgrade? (My PC can’t be upgraded, so I guess it’s unhealthy?)

Linux Mint is also an option 😉
Totally agree, especially for those who know what they’re into.
For those who doesn’t, I recommend Mint!
Seconded. Everyone who is not recommending Mint to new users is doing them and the community a disservice imo.
Thanks, I’ll be looking into it now. I really don’t want Windows anymore, but Linux has always sounded overwhelming to me.

Send your PC to the landfill and buy a new one.
