      As a Windows 10 user aiming to switch to Linux, I will miss out on that value. How will I ever survive? 😢

        Windows 10 has the same ads as 11 so you’re not missing out on anything.

        I have no idea why people suddenly love Windows 10 now that there’s something newer to hate on, despite them being the same bullshit just a slightly different skin.

          Windows 10 works with little to no intervention needed from the user and there is a metric fuckton of available software. The only time I ever had to chase a driver down was for an audio to USB recording interface that the last driver written was for Win 7, and 10 runs it in legacy mode flawlessly. Did I mention the metric fuckton of available software. 10 has never given us anything to hate but how often it updates, but 11 tries like hell to bully it’s way onto computers it wasn’t invited to. And if you do get stuck with it, none of the shit is where you expect it to be. The UI is ugly and clumsy. And you can’t revert. And what box did you check that Win 10 is advertising at you?

      Just wondering: what ads?

      I’ve seen some stuff about ads when installing Windows (about personalisation of ads), but other than suggested apps after a fresh install (certain games and apps). I’ve never seen any ads in windows itself.

      Granted, I do offline installs without Microsoft accounts and do use stuff like ShutUp10 and Windows debloater.
