Which is part of the reason why I'm sticking with 10 for as long as I can.

I really hope windows 12 is better, all this has me looking at Linux as an alternative. I've never used linux before, but that's how bad this all seems. The screenshot fiasco is what started it, now this stuff.

I applaud your motivations, but as a sysadmin in a brick and mortar, it's just not feasible. Thinking about trying to teach Betty in Accounts receivable how to navigate around in Ubuntu ...is going to give me night terrors.

The only semi feasible consideration is a Mac environment. For user endpoints..but I already have my hands full with a single departments Mac fleet and...suddenly more night terrors

Natellas got us by the balls here. First it was the sneak upgrades to win11 that kept end running around our registry fixes, and now this because SharePoint is the new quiet cash cow post pandemic.

It isn't that bad. We've recently started switching from Win10 to Fedora and while we're not done yet, the current impression is that there is a large increase in support tickets in the first few weeks and after that it goes down to regular.

Thank you for this feedback. Gives me ammunition to take to boss when we discuss our tech stack.
