Yeah I honestly legit enjoyed my fond time with old Windows machines back when they were fun and user-oriented instead of the user-exploitative SAAS monsters they are now.
Win10 wasn't even SO bad as everyone says...well, until recently when they started forcing Microsoft Accounts on install and harass you with their ads every 3 forced updates. Ugh.
Now they're on the Ai bandwagon? Yeah they're real small in my rearview mirror now.
I think it's just a different landscape now, and I'm glad Linux was there to jump to after all these companies started losing their collective minds.
