Stick to Windows. Linux is fine for IT pros and as a hobby. For graphic design with Adobe I just don’t see your productivity would be the same.

Someone pointed out that Pro version still doesn’t require sign in. I’ve only dealt with Pro and didn’t know it’s different than Home in this thing. Sorry for being overly confident.

Ah I’m sorry I’ve installed Win11 on several computers but they’ve all been Pro version. I didn’t know that Home is different.

You fail to acknowledge that only a tiny fraction of PC users do anything resembling coding. The average user never ever needs a markdown editor or a C compiler.

Oh I never realised Apple OS naming moved past OSX. They don’t seem to use version numbers a lot in their marketing anyway.

Yep, if you can daily any linux distro but struggle to install Windows it’s an attitude issue. Windows 11 is arguably the most user friendly OS ever made.

Windows 11 doesn’t force you do any of that. Just skip the sign in. Your points were valid in 8/10 era but no more.
