Booted my desktop since my work computers windows and I game mostly on my steam deck, and holy shit is Manjaro fast as hell compared to windows in 2025. Like I’m so used to clicking and waiting and in Manjaro you click and it’s just there.
I’m currently horrified how my (IT illiterate) employer said we need to update all our 20+ laptops to Win11 now. Consumer laptops that barely run Win10.
To be clear, I’m not the IT guy here, though I do sometimes help out.

Man fuck windows.
Yeah, just started using W11 for work and it’s insane how often I need to wait for character to buffer in after I typed something.
I shouldn’t be faster than my computer in this day and age, and yet here we are.

Same boat here. W10 is EOL. A crapton of good-enough laptops are about to go into the landfills all over your world. What a disgrace.
Yeah. Or they’ll go through with it, and then realize later that they “need” to buy new ones.
Maybe I can still convince them to switch to Linux. We’re not dependent on any MS or Windows only products.
You do though. W10 EOL is October, and you’re not gonna move to Linux, sadly.
