    I have Windows 11 on my laptop but 10 on my desktop. 11 was a mess and is still a mess. Don’t get me wrong, 10, 8, 7, and Vista were that way too for like a year or two. But I feel like a lot of 11’s problems are not going to be solved by bug-fixing.

      I am using windows 11 since the preview both for work (dev) and for gaming (although I switched to the steam deck as my main gaming platform) and don’t remember any breaking or blocking bugs. On the contrary, using bluetooth headset got a lot better and easier with win11. Which bugs did you spot?

        Ech, I didn’t document them, and I don’t have a great memory for things that change. The one I remember off the top of my head were the explorer.exe crashes several times a day, and the fact that the UI still behaves freaking weirdly.

      7 wasn’t really like that. It was more of a vista second edition.

        7 was buggy when new like all the rest. I remember. Your argument is like saying that 10 wasn’t buggy when new because it was 8 second-edition. But it was buggy.

          8.1 was fairly not buggy it was equivalent to seven. Until Windows 11 Microsoft had alternated core updates and feature updates. So XP is a less buggy version of 2000, 98 had 98se. There are a couple outliers like me and Windows 10, but Windows 10 is kind of like 8.2, and they abandoned the dos based kernels so I me never got a second version
