I use 11 for work, and so I tried it at home to really dive into the issues I might have. I generally prefer Linux but have always kept my daily drivers Windows…well until last Friday. I had the explorer shell crash on me causing data loss and really was the last straw. Wiped everything and went to Linux, I’m tired of the games Microsoft. I tolerated your bullshit for YEARS because the core of the OS usually “just worked”…except in recent years that’s not true and I don’t feel like my computer is “my computer” when windows 10+ is on it.
It may have seemed like that, but killing explorer.exe doesn’t cause data loss. None of the running applications are spawned by explorer, you just use it to launch them as separate processes.
They really want everyone on 11 don’t they.

Linux actually has really good support for games these days
