^True words about Windows... I haven't generally felt very bad with new Windows versions, except for UI downgrades and privacy concerns, but Windows 11 is a sloppy, buggy piece of software for sure. Microsoft even went and 'improved' many things that were working well, only to make them worse - even when they're working as designed. Of course it generally works just fine, but it still has enough annoyances in just the right places for me to call it terrible. Most recently it even gained a new bug: sometimes the texts for the desktop shortcuts/icons get blurry, and it gets fixed with a quick F5 press. Like seriously...

I have so many of my GOG.com games inoperable under Windows 11... It just sucks.

Games that have worked for over a quarter of a century, across all versions of Windows since 1995... Are just screwed under Windows 11.
I.E. Alpha Centauri.

Or more notably... Worked fine in Windows 11 until the 24h2 update.

The work around? Use my Retro Windows 98 PC (Athlon 1.4Ghz, 256MB Ram, 3DFX Voodoo 2+Radeon 9800Pro) or throw up a VM instance of Windows 98.
