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.

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.
