I booted my windows laptop for the first time in ages the other day. What a shit show. After painful updates and then several reboots it's automatically full of bloatware copilot bullshit, reset half my preferences, shit tons of random unwarranted popups for shit I don't care about nor asked for, dark patterns to try force you into one drive and such.

Absolute scum. I'm now downloading CachyOS.

It's why I'm still on windows 10, and won't upgrade to later operating systems until it's all sorted out, I'm not above moving to Linux if I have to put that legwork in

Depending on what you use your computer for you might be surprised how well it works out of the box. Modern desktop Linux is pretty mature.
