After 30 years with Linux, I decided to try Windows 11. Here's a list of everything that went wrong.

    It was installed in the Microsoft app store. It’s definitely their problem.

    All the packages in the default Debian repos are verified. Malware that covers the screen in ads and locks up the computer (intentionally) would never make it into the Linux repos.

      Sure I could see that being a Microsoft problem, but a bad app is not a Windows 11 problem.

      That’s like saying nobody should use Linux because of the Shai-Hulud worm.

        Shai-Hulud wasn’t installable in the the official repos
