    I've been off Windows since 2006, when I switched to Apple. I've been off Apple since last year, when I switched to Linux (Ubuntu first, then Mint). It really really rules.

    I used my wife's Win11 computer recently for some fairly simple tasks (one was converting a Word document to PDF and emailing it to her). It was a borderline nightmare. Using the search field in the Documents folder sent me to the web, Word froze because "Microsoft365 and Office need to update." Then I get a notice that there's a BIOS update and it would only let me dismiss the window for "120 seconds." Add to that that, graphically, it looks like garbage and the whole thing makes me bewildered that this is what passes for the global "standard" of desktop OSes. I feel sorry for people who have to use it.

    I'm amazed companies tolerate this bloat. I've worked at a place where I still had built in Xbox shit popping up all over my desktop while the CEO was standing at my desk talking to me. :-D

    Going home and logging into a "clean" computer is a breath of fresh air.
