Windows has *always* been a screwy platform. Also the one everything you want to run actually runs on. Linux has strengths but it cannot run everything. Linux also has it's own idiocies. Overall it's not worth putting up with imo. Windows is mostly harmless these days. I just let it do it's thing and it mostly stays out of my way. Been that way since 7.Increasing deceptive manipulation like this from Microsoft is why all my Windows machines are shifting to dual boot Linux. When I finish getting virtual machines working well on Linux, I'm done with Windows forever. It's a screwy platform.
Like i said, i don't use it for Windows, i use it for everything that runs on Windows. And that is a lot of software. A lot of software and a lot of choice to give up in order to enjoy ... ? What does Linux do better? I used microLinux, Ubuntu and Debian. At the time security was much better on Linux and viruses were mostly not a thing.
Whatever Linux can offer, it's not for me mang.
Microsoft always acted this way. I don't defend them nor do i like what they do (though whisper it but Win 11 is kinda nice), but theirs is the OS that makes everything i want possible.
