    Seriously, anytime people make complaints like these about windows, it just tells me they are either

    1. Tweaking their system in ways far beyond what the OS is designed for (which is fine, but then don’t blame Microsoft when updates break your system)
    2. Doesn’t know how to use a computer
    3. Knows how to use a computer but is willfully ignorant so they can rant at MS and get clicks
    4. Incredibly unlucky and not representative of the general population

      The thing that usually kills windows is shitty drivers. So people with different hardware can have completely different experiences.

      That’s the issue: the way microshit is taking windows is not acceptable for an increasing number of people.

      Why would I allow Satya the creep to control my PC that I paid money for.

      Also, why are they putting ads into it.

      Updates rolling back privacy settings, although this stopped now.

      Forced online accounts.

      At what point is it too much for you? I bet over next few years microshit will get to you too lol

        While I agree with most of what you’re saying, it’s also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it’s needed for parts of certain updates.

        A lot of the “debloaters” have no fucking idea what they’re actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).

          Yeah they just need to accept their fate and join Linux.

          At some point, fucking with Windows is more time and you have to be always doing it.

          Linux you have set it up but after that it just works
