Have two on Windows 10, one on Windows 11, one Mac OS Sequoia, and one Mac OS Catalina...

Way too many computers. Maybe it will be the year of downsizing for me.

I personally hate how their Enterprise SKU Win 10 & 11 releases still have all the home edition bloatware bullshit you have to strip out, and feature updates put them RIGHT FUCKING BACK.

I'll never be out of a job at least.

The only thing worse than Windows, is using ChromeOS. 😂
Agreed if its needed for productivity and everyhting else windows provides.

I barely used the surface and wanted to make it a simple tablet with youtube/netflix/browser. Infact I tried streaming gamepass games and it actually worked really well.

MacOS for work, and SteamOS for gaming would be ideal. Unforunately all the damn launchers and anticheats make using SteamOS difficult.
Good approach.

I do not understand, why so many people here declare they need everything on a single pc. I have a cheap laptop for work and a console for games. I wouldn't like to combine them within a one device.

I think Windows 11 is a fine operating system personally, being fast and completely stable on my system. However, it suffers from a lack of quality control by Microsoft, which Windows 11 24H2 being particularly buggy as a result.

Last August was the first time that I experienced issues trying to play PC games on my machine, specifically Star Wars: Outlaws from Ubisoft which kept crashing to the desktop with no error message or event log entry every 10-20 minutes. In the end I had to stop playing it and it wasn't until late December that the issue was finally fixed by both Ubisoft and Microsoft.

The issues with the 24H2 update have certainly put me off upgrading to a new build of Windows early via the Windows Insider Release Preview programme (which is basically where you get to test cumulative Windows updates a week or two before everyone else).

Confirmed no Xbox hardware this year?

Otherwise it would the year of Xbox, no?

Nothing makes me hate MS more than forcing me to upgrade a perfectly working computer to some bullshit nobody and I mean nobody asked for.
