swetland, Windows 11 has reached an absurd level of obnoxiousness with mandatory accounts, bundled random microsoft crap, and intrusive offers to upsell me on office360 and whatnot. Especially for an OS I have to pay for, this is pretty ridiculous.
I only have Win11 on a machine as a "Steam HAL" for gaming. Given Valve's progress on SteamDeck I am hopeful that within a few years I'll be able to ditch Windows entirely and still have everything I need for PC gaming.
