Microslop is going to spend 2026 improving Windows 11. It comes after Windows update quality issues and complaints about the operating system.

Marketing bullshit. Microsoft isn’t going to actually reverse any of the enshittification it’s inflicted on Windows.
If you don’t have any customer mandated software that requires Windows, I’m looking at you AutoDesk, then do yourself a favor and go ahead take the week to install and learn Linux Mint.
Enshittification, as always, is the word here. It’s important to point out because to disenshittify(?) the product would need to turn back the wheel, including profits. Line go down.
With all the other lines going down, they literally cannot course correct here in any way that would matter to the consumer to rebuild trust. So much of their model is built off of force feeding users and directing their behaviors, the thing they absolutely hate.
I’ve been wanting to install Linux, but I don’t have a drive large enough to back up my windows installation.
Do you really need the entire installation? Would only the user folder(s) (C:\Users) suffice?
Alternatively, you could install Linux mint on a large enough USB stick and run it off there, if you don’t mind the longer read/write times. You’d also need to change the boot order for it too.
