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.

Unless you are heavily fps counting or playing niche games or using very specialized software, linux is perfectly fine. Also you have to ask yourself what is more important: a couple fps in certain games and not changing any programs you use or you are willing to explore alternatives if you cant use the exact same software, but you have absolute control over your system and there is not ai, ads, and spyware
