With Steam and most importantly CCP Games (Icelandic developers of EVE Online) ending support for win7/8, it appears I have a choice of win10 or 11.

From what experience I have with windows 10 (work PCs and a laptop), I really dont like that OS.

So I'm curious about 11.. is it worse?

I'm not really considering linux an option, because developers obviously cater to the overwhelming market share for windows. Linux and MacOS are afterthoughts, and you have to keep in mind that some software won't run on the platforms.

Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to windows 10/11

keep in mind, when they say they're "ending support for win 7.8" it doesn't mean the game will stop working on those OS'es. It just means they are no longer officially supporting those OS'es, so if there is an OS specific issue in win7/8 (rare), they will not push patches to fix it.

Keep rocking windows 7/8 until the games literally stop working.
