I’ll never use that shit OS.

Good luck come October of next year when Windows 10 goes EOL

Personally I'm just treating Windows 11 as a 2025 kind of problem...

Ever more reason to switch to Linux sooner than later. Otherwise, Windows 10 LTSC or Pro for Workstation.

I'm hoping for Windows 12. Just like I skipped from Win 7 straight to 10, 8 was completely unusable.

There's a long term support version for 10 as well, until 2029. That would be the alternative, if whatever successor they choose is as bad or worse.
