Windows 10 is not getting any more feature updates

[p51d007]

I don't need any "feature" (spam) updates. It works for me, leave it alone.

I found that these "feature updates" often break stuff anyways. I've mostly moved away from Winblows anyways, my daily driver has been POP OS for the last 6 months. Too much spying, updates tested in production, and lack of customization options. I've been happy with Linux especially since all my games run just fine using Proton.

My Windows 11 still working fine. No ads pop up for me, never have. Maybe mine has just been turned off since the beginning.
I'm not worried about telemetry as most of that can be turned off but every company tracks, spys and does whatever else they want. It's nothing new. Don't bother me and hasn't affected anything I do.

Some updates can cause more issues than others but that can be said for every single company that does updates. For me I haven't come across a update that actually breaks Windows.

In 2023, people still pay (with discounts, LOL) for proprietary garbage that they don't really own. While with Linux you have YOUR operating system for free, lightweight, not spying on you, no need for antivirus..... and the best of the best, the greater the number of user, the faster the progress.

Upgraded my PC last winter and figured why not get on with 11 because it was said to have better core scheduling for my processor.

I honestly feel it's no better than 10 and in some ways worse. Probably just more spying and data collection going on in the back end

So turn off telemetry if that bothers you but it's not causing any kind performance loss or anything you would actually notice.

Not everyone pays for it and those that do, they do it cause they feel it's the best option for them, some just like it and others use it for business.
Everyone uses a OS for various reasons/needs. There isn't one that meets everyone's needs and likely never will be.

Just cause you feel something is better doesn't mean the world does. Great if you like it but others will like what they feel is best for them.

Good! I mean, I use Ubuntu Linux myself and confine Win10 and Win11 to VirtualBox; but I was not particularly impressed with the Win10 updates adding like that news bar that pops up whenever it feels like and whatever the hell else backported from Win11. I expect people who still use Windows 10 feel the same way, they are using it because they don't want Windows 11 so the last thing they need is more and more features backported from Win11 to Win10 (if they wanted those features, they would switch to Win11.)

To those holding off on upgrading to Win 11 - I was also reluctant to move to Win 11, but I have to say that I’ve been generally pleased with it. I find that the UI seems to be snappier than W10, and I’m a big fan of dark mode, tabbed file manager, and tabbed command prompts.

It's true -- running WIn10 and Win11 side-by-side in VMs, Win11 boots in probably half the time, it's noticeably snappier, and probably does about 1/2 the disk I/O while it's firing up too. I'm an Ubuntu user myself but I'll give credit where credit's due, they did a nice job speeding things up there!

On Windows 11 from day one. No problems at all. From the beginning I removed all the crap (telemetry and such), of course. It's working smoothly. I never saw an ad, never pestering with Edge, etc. Some people are too susceptible. With Windows I have all my Adobe apps and videogames. Don't pester me with Linux then.

I am using the Enterprise version whose key I bought for funny money. Jumping to Windows 12 from day one too. I personally dislike MS, but Windows 11 is decent.
