    I’ve been forced to use windows for some propriety software during uni. I got a laptop from IT with higher specs than my old one and:

    1. It runs worse than my old shitty laptop
    2. It boots up slower than my old shitty laptop
    3. The battery icon was missing from the taskbar for some ungodly reason (I had to get IT to force an update)
    4. The internet it gets is way worse than my old shitty laptop. I do not know why

    So yeah I’m not using Windows 11 ever again

      I use windows 11 at work. I run solidworks, which is a 3D CAD/modeling program so my work computer is reasonably powerful with a decent chunk of RAM.

      My laptop from 2020 uses mint. It’s faster, although I havent tried to use solidworks on it because I’d have no idea where to start on getting that to run.
