People hate Windows 11 because Microsoft have decided that most hardware, including many powerful workstations, are not eligible to upgrade.

I will have to agree that's by far the most legit reason to hate Win 11.
it was such a relief when i got the notification that my laptop was not eligible for a Windows 11 upgrade.

for a long time i have been debating whether i should try a MacBook M1 for my hobby projects or not. i don't use Windows for anything else. and migrating my projects would be a pain, but not a huge one.

they made the decision for me. (and other people like me, who had only one or two reasons to remain on Windows.)

Yet if you do install Windows 11 on said hardware, it gives no warning that it's "unsupported"
