It's the only reason I'm still using Windows for sure.

Thanks to Win 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 I've started on softly working my way into switching to Linux by installing Debian on my old gaming laptop, and it is hard. In Win XP and Win 7 shit just worked. In Linux you have to get very comfortable with the terminal and reading a ton of wiki manuals and guides, and watching youtube videos about how to do things. It feels like being back in the 90s and trying to get games, hardware, and drivers to work together, but you have to do it through the equivalent of a DOS prompt. I'm still working on making the move despite how hard it is because Microsoft and Windows is trash now, and I don't see it getting better unless they scrap everything and start over with making a proper successor to Win 7.

@danielklopp7007 I liked XP more, but I think that's just me wearing nostalgia glasses. That said, they were both amazing.

Yes.

Same here. Got Debian installed on my old gaming laptop a while ago and I've been slowly trying to familiarize myself with using Linux. I am not a fan. It feels like being back in the 90s and trying to get games, hardware, and drivers to jive with each other, but through a DOS prompt, except that I have youtube videos and endless wiki how-tos and guides to help. It is frustrating, annoying, and such a bother compared to how using Win XP or 7 was, but with Microsoft being the way they are now and my loathing for everything Apple and their walled garden I don't see another option and will keep struggling with it.

What MS need to do isn't fighting shadows or chasing gimmicks. What they need to do is scrap everything, revert back to the Win 7 code and overhaul it with modern features and security. Note, I mean actual security and features, not "features" that are just bloat nor "security" that is spyware that takes control away from the user.

Yup. Mostly just bloat and spyware.
