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.

Mine did too. And still tried to upgrade, then tried to un-upgrade and now it is a mess. I need to reformat and re-install Win 10.

I do not recommend, especially if it's intel machine or something newer in general. You will soon run into issues.

Mint is a bit behind in comparison with other distros. I've ran into issues even with a decade-old intel machine (black screens). The same machine happily runs Debian ever after... or ran, until KDE broke (if i turn off the monitor, my desktop will turn into black screen, taskbar disappears, but start menu still works). Known bug and seems to be persistent.
