I mean, it's windows 10, but worse
If you have 8gb or less of RAM, it's constantly swapping and trash your SSD
It always needs to automatically install the fucking updates in the background hogging the CPU and SSD time when you actually need to work/play
When they introduce bugs, they take years to fix them. The taskbar took 3 years to be restored to features that were present since windows 95. One year ago they introduced a new bug that with some display port monitors, when it goes in standby, the resolution switches for a second to 640*480, trashing all windows and desktop layout, super infuriating. Probably this will be fixed in windows 12
Plus with all their decision to force people to trash millions of perfectly working computers... I know many they just give up on personal computers and just use phones/tablet as it's enough for them
The updates are off the fucking charts. Constantly updating/breaking services and apps are useless literally until you reboot. They really took the "reboot will fix it" and ran as far as they could go.
Four updates (and consequent reboots) in one week. Wtf
Imagine having to tell hundreds of clients you have to reboot your computer at least once a week for it to work. Fucking pathetic.
I don't have to imagine. I literally do this. Is pathetic. I'm over here with my fully update Linux box that I hadn't had to reboot in months, telling windows users to reboot "at least once a week" and that "shutdown is not the same as reboot".
Oh I forgot about the shutdown not actually processing updates. Lmao. What a clown show.
Android phones are picking up this reboot trend also... 😐
Google Android, maybe. AOSP ROM, not so much.
