• Is Windows 11 That Bad? – This article offers a counterweight to the widespread online backlash against Windows 11, arguing that while the operating system has legitimate flaws, public criticism often exaggerates its shortcomings. Drawing on long‑term experience across Windows, Linux, and macOS, the author contends that Windows 11 represents a calm, coherent, and historically improved evolution of the platform. The piece highlights incremental usability gains, the maturation of WSL into a practical development tool, and Windows’ enduring strength in backward compatibility. It contrasts these advantages with Linux’s fragmentation and macOS’s tendency toward abrupt compatibility breaks. Although Windows 11’s forced account requirements, ecosystem‑driven defaults, and taskbar limitations warrant critique, the article concludes that the OS occupies a pragmatic middle ground. In an era where operating systems increasingly demand loyalty, Windows 11’s quiet success lies in offering continuity, stability, and low friction rather than ideological alignment.
