I remember my earlier days of assembler where they had bugs in them.
A company we bought a suite of assemblers from had an 8086 assembler.
I started to write a program but quickly found it didnt work.
I traced problem down to one instruction which was coded wrong.
I let them know and they fixed.
Only for me to proceed a little further and find another one.
So wrote my own 8086 assembler avoiding bad instructions.
Once I got that working I just used that for software in my job and it worked well.
In later years I converted it to 80386.
I must have wrote millions of lines of code with it.
I remember my first job in software.
They took on a "genius" programmer and he started writing a 6502 program.
It was a complete disaster as the assembler had numerous bugs.
At that point I decided to leave and left them to sort the mess out.
I heard they went bust 3 months later.
I just stick to Win 10 - everything works on it just fine. Win 11 is still not fully finished product yet lol…
Windows 10 is almost EOL. I like Windows 11 much better, but it's still crap compared to Manjaro GNOME.
The assembler i used was well honed, but i did not complete an engineering project because we kept running into a bug in the Pascal compiler that was not discovered until after we got our marks, those were good but if there was not the bug, we would have gotten A+

Win 11 was terrible when it first came out.
Lots of bugs.
Its much better now.
I like the extra security of Win11. TPM and secure boot.
Cant get too much security.
yes, TPM is good to have. I also got myself hardware firewall just in case. I am using EdgeRouter Lite ERLite-3. I think OpenWRT is available for that one. I also have EdgeRouter ERX installed at my parents' place. I think those have really nice firewalls built in them.
