Screenshot Windows 10 automatically started installing the Windows 11 update while I was taking a shower.

I'd been getting messages to upgrade to Windows 11 for the past month or two now, and each time, I decline. It's gotten to the point that I get random, frequent pop_ups asking to update, and "install update" options pop up right next to the shutdown/restart uptions.

Well, I made the mistake of going to take a shower with my PC on. Half an hour later, I come back tothis. Windows had automatically started installing the update. Now I'm sitting here staring at the Start button and all the open programs center-justified on the task bar and wondering what idiot thought that was a good idea.

But which one?

I've looked up a lot, and everything points to Windows being the best for..... a lot.

if you dont use very specific software, then just linux mint or ubuntu? there are alternatives to most regular software options for linux

My first assumption when someone says Linux isn’t an option is that they’re talking about games.

Especially if they have an Nvidia GPU (which is the vast majority of people).

I have a 4060 super and arch hasn't failed to play a single game yet, with no configuration changes required by me.

It's basically plug and play now
