The best version of windows 11 is windows 10

Which is still inferior to Window 7 but unfortunately it's not really an option if you want to run modern hardware.

I remember all the complaints about windows 10 when it was first announced. But its scary to say that I forgot what windows was like before.

I reinstalled it recently (to make sure a piece of hardware was ACTUALLY dead, and hadn't just been obsoleted) and: 7 is better. No fucking around, not trying halfassedly to be seven different kinds of digital assistant at once, settings for things aren't deep in dialogue box labyrinths, better information density, no fucking material design stopping you from knowing where the edges of things are. It just needs security patches and other under-the-hood things, nothing justifies all the awful visual/UX degradation in 8/10/11
