Win 10 pro never forced me but i did power cycle pretty often anyways. It did still give me bs full screen ads for win 11 though sometimes. Now im on Bazzite with minimal disruption and even some improvements to my workflow :)

I switches to Pop!OS on my laptop that I didt use so much until now and its been solid and reliable for 99% of everything ive needed to do. Later switched my desktop to Bazzite and its been a wonderful experience. I did have a little bit of stuttering on beefier games but I mostly play middle graphics games and those were a non issue. Maybe 1-2 games I have wont run? Intel and nvidia is probably more of the reason.

I havent even looked back at windows at this point
