Wait windows 10 was not junk before? Since when?

I think you're probably in the minority on this one. It was generally accepted that Win10 was pretty good.

It was regarded as good in the beginning, at least in comparison to Windows 8. In the beginning it ran leaner than Win7

Then update after update it got more and more bloated and unstable, more crammed with ads, etc. Windows 10 aged very poorly imo.

MS, over the course of the life of Windows 10, transitioned from a software company to a data brokerage, and Windows 10 has reflected that. But it's nothing compared to W11 that is full-on spyware.

Windows 10 LTSC for the win

I know I'm the weird one but I liked 8 and Vista more than 7.

I still had plenty of frustrations with it. I ended up switching to Linux finally last year when it became clear Microsoft was going to force my pc to update to 11.

I was fine with w10, but my god w11 has been a real pita for me. Had used Linux on laptops for quite some time before, but w11 was what finally pushed me into transitioning into Linux primarily on my main desktop PC as well.

It shouldn't be accepted that any version of Windows was good

I mean, when you compare it to Windows 11...
