That’s right. As long as I don’t actively download things and run them blindly, I’ll be fine. My herd immunity consists of adblockers, hosts file, and a managed router.
The only thing that will change the equation is when, inevitably, my little refurbished bargain 15 year old laptop will finally crash too often and become tiresome to use, and/or software I want to use forces win 11 for no reason. An example is KiCad, an electronics schematic and PCB design suite that does nothing fundamentally different than OrCAD did on a 386 40 years ago. Why it forces you to use Win 11 now is utterly mind-boggling to me, but I also grow tired of constantly having to find ways around artificial constraints.

And I wouldn’t mind a new monitor too.
That is not herd immunity
Yes, thank you, I am telling you it doesn’t matter.
