  1. Samsung could greatly improve customer experience by making its bloatware uninstallable. Great hardware but the shovelware is a waste of space.

  2.  @maddoggLP  If someone seriously cares about security they run a non-Windows OS for that. Thanks to virtual machines that's easier than ever. I don't "switch" OS, I add them and even make virtual machines out of any install I like to use as backups. Windows VMs have the advantage of immediate reboot into a clean snapshot if an update annoys me and VM can be run on Windows or other hosts. For example my old Windows 10 machine is fast enough to host a W11 VM so I can get comfortable tweaking that to my liking then clone the VM anywhere I care to.

  3. Ads are easily blocked but I don't understand "switching" vs. "adding" it being effortless to use any or many sites. I've blocked adverts of all types for so long I no longer identify with "normal" user experiences not that I'd want to. I don't get the "slow load" issue but that's easily sorted by running User Agent Switcher on Firefox (I also run multiple browsers for compartmentation by use).

  4. ReactOS is NOT a version of Windows which is the whole legal point of coding it. Don't confuse ReactOS with fan-made modified Windows. It's quite different and its goals are posted for all to read.
