I don't even know why people use Windows 10 (or 11) other than momentum.
I haven't used Windows for years, but my daughter's new online school required either a Windows 10/11 computer or a Mac and we can't afford even a new decent Windows notebook, let alone a Mac, so we ended up getting a refurbished Thinkpad running Windows 10 from NewEgg.
Windows 10. Is. Annoying. As. Fuck.
We are constantly getting interrupted by unnecessary popups (or were until I took the time to disable everything I could think of, which was a pain in the ass).
After running updates, it made me go through a bunch of screens turning down paying for things. Twice. And those popups still asked me about paying for things. Motherfucker, I already paid $300 for the computer, I'm not paying you shit.
And wow is stuff counterintuitive in how to do it compared to either any Linux GUI I've tried or Mac OS. Just trying to figure out how to get to a File menu is baffling half the time.
I don't blame anyone for using XP over that shit. Let alone Linux or even a Mac.
Security updates. That's it, that's the only reason I recommend anyone unwilling or unable to switch operating systems all together to move to Windows 10.
