what's an alternative to updating to windows 11

from all the bad reviews ive heard about windows 11 that it installs spyware in the windows updates, and you now have to pay for once free programs....that it uses AI, and many other terrible reports..

i still have an outdated verson of windows desktop computer which works just fine for now, so i dread the day when i have to uograde to windows 11....and even worse win 12.

I would recommend Linux. Probably something with a KDE Desktop, Cinnamon on Linux Mint or Budgie on Solus Linux if you are used to the Windows way of doing things.

As for what distro to go with that depends on what you are familiar with and how big of a learning curve you are ok with.
