No. Windows 7 was pretty good. Certainly a better desktop experience than Linux at the time (go on, roast me, I’ve got my flame proof undies on). Windows 10 started out pretty decent, until they ramped up the enshittification. I used Windows for over 30 years and never saw any reason to switch, although I’ve worked with Unix before Windows was even a thing. Only in the last couple of years did it really become unbearable. And I wouldn’t even consider ever using Win11 on any personal machine.

Completely agree! Windows 7 was the best Windows.
Looks like Win7 came out in 2008. So did KDE4 https://timeline.kde.org/. I’ve pretty much always used KDE so it’s a good measuring stick for me.
My completely subjective opinion is they were pretty equivalent. Win7 wasn’t bad. But neither was KDE4.
@Diplomjodler3 @drq win7 is shit, really shit. It renamed “My computer” to “Computer”…
