Last Windows I activity used was 2000. After that I switched to Linux and never looked back. I hope Windows increases their shitification as hard as they can to finally drive people away from it. There are so little reasons nowadays to still use it. Apart from competitive gaming (in kernel anti cheat) and some proprietary apps that have no good alternative, Linux and macos should be able to support everyone's needs.
I am fairly computer literate but Every time I install Linux I always come across an issue I can't fix without "days" worth of research to fix. This is across *buntu, Mint, Manjaro and PopOS. Last issue was getting a second HDD to work correctly. I don't think Linux will ever be as user friendly for the masses who just need something that works.
Same. I'd consider myself a computer tinkerer but Linux is just a pain to use when it doesn't work.
When it's basic comparability stuff that has been figured out for years in its competitors than I just can't be fucked wasting my time on it.
Same applies to every other OS. It depends on what you're used to and what you expect. I frequently rage quit apple devices. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with. I just can't recommend windows anymore for privacy related reasons.
