No excuse is good enough to switch to Linux.
Linux is reliable and looks nice, but mostly worthless.

Russian users report that they can't download Windows 10 and 11

If the West really wanted to hurt Russia, it would force their citizens to download Windows 10 and 11.
Microsoft Windows is a heap of trash full of bloatware and broken updates anyway. I'm only sad about the few good software that only works on Windows. Software makers, please make your stuff cross platform.
I wonder how many of these little lint ball tears are falling on computers that are NOT running Windows. That may be the funniest thing about those nerds.Whiny, yet spineless.

Why not block the download? They need to do the whole virtue signal thing anyway… you know… look like the good guys. What do you think the Ruzzians are going to do when they can’t download it from the official source? Yar har fiddle dee dee. That’s where they can easily spread the fun version of Windows. The one that has been specifically designed to not just spy on you. Think Stuxnet.
There… 4D chess move made…
Meanwhile… I hope they’re having fun looking at all my save games on my Windows gaming PC. Like the juicy Crusader Kings saves with incest, human sacrifices, devil worship and marrying a horse. Oh, and the cannibal colony in Rimworld. Good times and totally worth having a special agent look into.

Maybe not yet in the US, but in China isn't stuff like that either already included or proposed for inclusion in your "social credit score"?
I am thankful I live in a country that would not publicly accept such a program, at least so far. Unfortunately it does appear we have many residents who are willing to accept a not-that-different version of the program so long as it is classified "secret" and the actions taken against you for low scores are never publicly acknowledged, meaning you have even fewer options for contesting or appealing them.

Windows 11? And you "make your living on my PC"?! I'd start looking for a new line of work!
Why? I've been running Windows 11 for a few months now, and I'm currently running 22H2. I haven't had a single issue with it - not one. I never had a problem with Windows 10, either. I've been working with computers since the 1970s, and owned a computer business for a decade. I realized long ago that most problems people complain about are their own fault. If you use quality hardware and know what you're doing, Windows is just fine.

Generally, you can count on people who gainsay privacy and free speech as having nothing worth hiding, nor saying, whatsoever.
I've been using Windows 10 for years, and 11 for the last several months, both at work, and when I work from home two days a week. I've racked up hundreds upon hundreds of hours doing intensive spreadsheet work and audio editing in that time, and I have never had a single problem with Windows 10 or 11.

"Windows is just fine". Windows 7 perhaps, but not Windows 10 or 11. We've been running Windows 10 for a few weeks at work and we've had a nasty surprise from it,from day one, with focus stealing.
Been using Windows 10 for several years at work, on a massive network with about 4,000 users, and haven't had the first issue with it. Again, the problem isn't with the arrow. It's with the archer.

Quality hardware has little to do with the running of Windows 10 or 11. It really isn't a factor and therefore deserves no mention.
Running both Windows 10 and 11 without 1 issue in the "several years" you've been using it!? Please come over and help us at Microsoft Community - because it seems you can cut down my daily workload.

Don't be a smartass. I've been working with computers since before you were born, and having once owned a successful computer business from which I built and repaired countless hundreds of computers, the last thing I want to do is have to deal with kids that think they know everything again.
Feelings are often misleading. I've been working with computers since the 1970s, but I do not now, or have I ever worked for Microsoft. I just grow tired of people bitching about Windows when it works fine if you know what you're doing.I get the feeling talking up MS incessantly is his job.

Now what's the motive behind all of this? Why are users not being able to do so? Talking about VPNs, there are rarely some that work in Russia. I personally use Ivacy VPN and it works fine for now.

Well, there is nothing I can do about it, I'm neither the arrow nor the archer, I'm the bow. I just use a piece of software that worked fine in Windows 7 and now it's stealing focus in a very annoying and immersion braking way on the new Windows 10 computer.
