Windows 11 has some niche features that set it apart in amazing ways. One of them is that it natively supports Linux GUI applications almost the same way as native Windows applications. No need to have a dedicated remote desktop window. Just intermingle Linux and windows applications through WSLg. Granted, it won't mean much to many users but as it stands, Windows is becoming the top multi-platform OS. Who would have thought?
That's great, but why couldn't that be a part of Windows 10?
Technically Windows 11 is just a slightly re-skinned continuation of Windows 10. They just had to make it a new version so that they could add in the extra boot security requirements (plus they didn't want to force the new skin on existing Win10 users immediately). But as long as you have a new enough machine then you can upgrade to WIn11 no problem if you want the new features. And if you like where you are, you can continue to use Win10 for another 2 years plus.
I'm just not happy about the being forced into a new skin eventually.
Neither am I, friend. I still miss Windows 7 most of the time.
Well, I doubt it'll stay on top forever as it very clearly shows that it's in the process of enshittification.
