Good man!
If you know win10 the learning curve for win11 is flat though
You say that… and i agree for the individual user,
but for doing tech support - i think all of the dark patterns ms uses in their retail environment is going to setup a older person for failure. I don’t want one drive to get pushed or auto-installed. I don’t want edge to take over everything. I don’t want to try to debug whatever copoilt / recall is doing this week. I don’t want to start bar/task bar to get filled with micro advertisements.
Thats why I went with IOT LTSC, sure, I don’t have the windows store, but on the other hand I don’t have the windows store.
When windows 8? Was a thing and Ms had this all tile interface I once tried to print a document in a hotel… I felt like the interface was actively fighting me the entire time, the single most difficult computer interaction in my life. (And I used os/2)
I use win 11, but i put my parents on osx. Not as good as it used to be, but a bit less intrusive than windows.
Regarding os/2 that was my ideal os for many years. Its kinda what osx could have been, until they deviated into what it is today
