Early data suggests users drifting back to Windows 10
www.windowscentral.com
From Patch Tuesday disasters to the "Microslop" PR nightmare, Windows 11 is losing trust. It's also losing one more thing: market share.

    There are alternatives, you can see the alternatives on display in various Linux distros, and hell, even Mac OS. The thing is that with Windows Microsoft doesn’t want you to think of an alternative.

    It’s simply not true that the only way to do computing is to force everyone to use your trashy software or be nagged about it during every upgrade.

    They are only doing this because they have the average user by the balls. Hopefully, Linux continues to get better and then that won’t be the case anymore either.

      If Linux could run AutoCAD and didn’t have issues with anti cheat programs then I probably would have fully committed to the switch.

      Before any says anything, yes I know there are CAD alternatives but all of my custom tools only work in AutoCAD and I have no idea how to recreate half of them if I had to and I wouldn’t know how to do it in another app anyway. Plus AutoCAD is the industry standard so for compatibility reasons, I’m locked in.
