Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

  it’s a death by a thousand cuts situation, more friction to use a local account, less convenience in accessing rarely used settings (most recently I was trying to help someone change a setting located in the advanced power management control panel thing), more pressure to use edge, continuing to shove one-drive down our throats, copilot, implementing features that knowingly make third party tools work significanly less well without proper customization to fix it, weirdness around Multi-Display setups on laptops, the maps app getting worse at giving directions.

    So… in my experience edge runs better than all other browsers with the ability to mute individual tabs without an addon. I disabled copilot. I disabled one drive and use local storage only. All settings can be accessed by just typing what you want in the search bar. If you need advanced settings for anything you just click the button that says “advanced settings” To me it’s fairly simple, but it’s all I’ve ever used. My Mac knowledge is minimal and my Linux knowledge is also minimal, so for me both those OS’s are difficult to use and navigate. I also like the ability to double click something to install it and not have to open a command box and do child coding just to use something.

    So I get what your saying. If I had Linux only for the last 30 years I would also find windows to be confusing and stupid.

      I had windows for 20 years. enough is enough. I’ll never accept all the bullshit of 11. but if you use edge, I see you have different values, like privacy is not really important to you
