I honestly hoped there won't be new Windows versions in the foreseable future. Win10 with it's cloud and telemetry was something I could barely accept. Win11 goes beyond. I play old games, so Ubuntu will be my friend soon.

I would rather make a streamlined Linux version that I control ALL the components of the kernel like Slackware than use bloatwareUbuntu any day.
I use windows because it's what my business industry produces software and hardware for, if it was Mac Based I would use that.
At home, I use a variety of systems, Windows, Linux, even Dos, (all on original Hardware not including VMS which I also use)
I use operating systems that pre-date "MS-DOS" existence; (on various OS and Z80 CP/M systems of the '80s) and they all have a claim to the stars.
Is windows evil. no. it is just what the people that don't care about hardware want, to run their MS-styled "Ipad" and do it all for them.

If you learn and enjoy Ubuntu and find it capable of performing all the needs and tasks you desire, then good for you, the rest of us will have to continue to utilize the operating system.

I'm past the time to tinker with linux distros. I want an OS that won't force cloud services on me, and other 'always connected' things. I'm that old fashioned. Don't get me wrong. I love new tech. I only can't accept the direction it is heading.

Win 10 will get its regular semi-annual updates for another 4 years, at least.
Fortunately Microsoft clarified it. I'm happy with Win10, more than with Win7. I was expecting Win10 to last a lot longer though, with the "OS as service" thing.
