I've been using Windows 11 since it came out. Seems fine, no real difference over 10. Maybe a little bit faster.
Some of the more annoying stuff like ads in the start menu and the like only really affect americans, as far as I know. I've never seen it. Had a brief battle turning copilot off everywhere when that became a thing - including in notepad! - but thats hardly just a microsoft thing.
Don't really understand all this drama over the TPM chip, especially since you can bypass that requirement with a little effort if you can't upgrade your hardware.
I hate to be like, "Let's use AI for this" on everything, but this actually does seem kind of like a good thing for AI to do, rather than subject a human to it.
It recently occurred to me that the crazy expense of the US Healthcare system (most expensive in the world, while also being terrible quality) might be by design: it keeps you desperately tied to your jobs. Just another threat enforcing that weird modern serfdom the Americans are so fond of, along with their unsolved homelessness and massive prison industry.
Agree with most of this (not the weird anti-immigrant bit but the rest), however China does have some foreign requirements that are a bit of a pain in the ass, like its insistence that Taiwan isn't a country. They also don't like it and will retaliate when you point out the shady shit it does (e.g. the Uighurs), but then thats no different from the states especially under its current toddler administration.
