    the misses got this from M$, they know windows 11 must be doomed with
    poor uptake, imagine the numbers still using win10 to force them to do
    this... or its a secret plot, she wanted linux put on her laptop and we
    were going to do that in next few weeks, so to stave off more of an
    exodus to linux they pull this stunt :)

    Linux will only gain significant market share if businesses, or
    corporations, government agencies, etc., start using it. ie. other than personal use. personally I don't care if that doesn't happen, since the
    more it's in use the more it will be a target for hackers and scammers
