Linux is not an option for me. I think I've heard the "just move to Linix" thing more often than I've brushed my teeth.

I'm staying with Windows both because I've been using Microsoft's tech since MS-Dos 2 back in 1985, and work is a Microsoft estate, again making Linux a no-go for me.

That said, I have Windows 11 on my Surface, and usability stinks to high heaven, squared. And so I will stick with Windows 10. I'm keeping an eye on 11 via the Surface, but not hoping for usability to get easier in the near future...

Why is that a factor? I use Windows at work, but at home all of my machines are Linux. It doesn't cause me any issues.

I would think this would be a plus, if anything; I don't want work and my personal life intermingled.

The whole point of "Bring your own device" is corporate control and corporate safety.

Try a good mainstream distribution with KDE. I think you'll like it a lot more than you imagine.
