I switched all my daily use PCs to Linux in 2004 and haven’t looked back. I did have a Plex server running on Windows 10 for about a year but even that has moved to an unRAID server.

That describes many of their releases.

When I look back there's only a handful of Windows operating systems I preferred, and some of them took quite a bit of time and a service pack or two to make that happen.

Yrah, but that's what they said about Windows ME.....and Vista.....and Windows 8......and now 11.

Microsoft learns from their mistakes. It's what helps them to make sure they make all new mistakes.

What concerns me is that ever since XP, every "good" release is worse than the last good release.
