Anybody Using Windows 11 Today?

i use 11. no problems here.

After seeing your name on the board for the past few weeks and saying it in my head, it finally dawned on me....very clever of you!

What so you use to replace MS Office, or will office run on Linux?

Office won't run on Linux, but there is a word processor and spread sheet that comes on Linux, maybe some other office related stuff, which I don't use. I use their spread, and it does what I need, but at this point I'd still give the Office spread sheet the edge.

LibreOffice and OpenOffice run on Linux. LibreOffice branched off OpenOffice when the latter was purchased by Oracle. They're both good and free.

I bought a Dell computer a little less than a year ago, switching from a Mac. I hadn't used a PC in a long time. My computer came with Windows 11. It's fairly easy to get things done and I'm satisfied with most things, but the font for several functions is very tiny. I went into settings and changed everything I thought would fix that. Now some websites show up too big while other functions are still too tiny. That would not prevent me from recommending W11 though. It is way better than using the Mac after the last "upgrade" I did that made it excruciatingly slow.

The "upgrade" was part of planned obsolescence. They intentionally slowed your computer down so you'd have to upgrade.

I am using Windows 11 in my new laptop but I have to say I really prefer Windows 10. Win 11 has some weird ways of getting things done and in my opinion some unnecessary steps to get there. Other than that it's functional.

I've used those programs on my Windows computers, both are very good and as good as Microsoft office... I hate supporting Mr. Gates in any way or form...

I used to use iPhones, they were supplied by my employer. There's no doubt in my mind that HermitHogan is correct, every time the phone downloaded a software update the performance would degrade. Once I retired I switched to Android phones.
