Bad news bud. Windows is a circlejerk of an inferior corporate OS that people only use because of consequences of its own popularity like a marginal advantage in software support.
P.S. complaining about “circlejerks” that are based on well thought out reasons for something is really obnoxious.
Oh no, I switched when I got tired of ads shoved in my face before I’ve even logged in, long before Windows 11 was being rolled out. For me, the issues were stacking up and I just didn’t want to deal with it anymore. I’m not going to detail my issues with Windows here so all I’ll say is that I haven’t needed to log into Windows unless there’s a particular software I need to use (like Elgato or the Kinect Studio, both of which have drivers specific to Windows).
The point is, no one is switching to Linux solely because of the damn calculator in the Start Menu.
Mint is a nice one to start from so you can used to the way Linux works. I’m on Arch atm because I’m a massive control freak and wanted to have more direct control over the system.
I would check if what you regularly use can be used on Linux either with alternative software like FOSS or if you’re gaming, check whether your games use anti-cheats because that’ll be the biggest roadblock. If something you use daily isn’t possible on Linux then you’re better off not switching.
…you do know this sort of thing has existed on Linux for years right? If anything windows is actually late to the party as this is a relatively recent add on

Nothing like fueling the Linux circlejerk here.

I feel like the argument speaks for itself here.
lol really? Gonna switch from windows to Linux because the calculator IN THE START MENU sucks?
Jesus Christ.

Very close to switching, started dual booting mint and I still use windows more but I imagine that’ll change when they force the 11 update on everyone

I cut my Linux teeth on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and made the full switch to Linux Mint in 2015 after DropBox announced they no longer support XP.
Like fuckit, I can use Linux+Compiz 3D Cube Desktop to virtualize many systems with whatever OS I want.
Any bug is UNACCEPTABLE. Don’t you know our Lord and Savior Linus banned the end from Linux back in 2000!
Your reason to not use windows is a web calculator?
They said another reason so that means that it is not their only reason
