95.57 percent of surveyed Steam users are already on Windows 10 and 11, with nearly 2 percent of the remainder on Linux and 1.5 percent on Mac — so we may be talking about fewer than 1 percent of users on these older Windows builds. Older versions of MacOS will also lose support on February 15th, just a month and a half from now. Correction: It's macOS 10.13 and 10.14 that are losing support. Not macOS period.

    but I still can’t get over the crippled start menu

    You know you can set it back to “legacy”, right? I’ve been using Win11 since it was beta and when you swap the new default gui elements back to “legacy”, it’s much better than even win 10.

        Maybe I’m misunderstanding the issue, but I’m reading it as a dislike for the new “modern” start menu in win11 that’s center screen and feels designed for touch interfaces?

        You can disable that and turn it more like a win 7 style start menu.

          I’m not talking about taskbar, I’m talking about start menu. You can change the position of the start button back to the left, which was the first thing I of course did, but you can’t do anything about the start menu itself (at least without using 3rd party solutions which I generally try to avoid, not to mention they’re usually not free, unless there’s some secret that you know I’m unaware of). You can’t change the menu’s tiny size, not have the icons categorized, grouped, in different sizes with irregular placement, live tiles… You also can’t drag and drop the icon onto desktop to create a shortcut there (nor is there such option in the context menu). I really liked the W10 start menu.
