ESET recommends switching to Windows 11 as quickly as possible. Alternatively, a Linux distribution can also be a good option, especially for older hardware.

66.12% of Windows PCs are still on Windows 10 in Germany, 62.73% worldwide.

And Windows 8/10 didn't take features away for no reason. (Or at least, they didn't insist on them for too long, with the windows 8 desktop fiasco)

You will take my top taskbar from my cold dead hands Microsoft, who the fuck signed off on this? They actively shutdown any forum threads on it too.

Off to Linux we go.

Other than at work, where I have no choice :(
