Windows is BAD

Here's the deal, I'm done with Windows. For years, I told myself it was "good enough," but I've come to realize that using it is like trying to run a marathon with a pebble in my shoe.

"The 'blue screen of death' is just the computer's way of telling you it's time to go outside." -- A wise sysadmin, probably

Rational Reasons I hate it now

You can spend years learning all the workarounds and registry hacks, but you'll still be fighting the system.

• Forced Updates at the Worst Times
• do you like stability in production? Well, officialy described side effects include DEATH OF THE SYSTEM because of some updates.
• The Bloatware Epidemic: Why does a fresh install of a "professional" operating system come with Candy Crush and TikTok?
• UI Inconsistency: It's a Frankenstein's monster of design. You do not have just a Windows 11, you better learn everything Windows once was.
• Catastrophic performance: Try fast tapping your "win" key constantly opening the Start Menu and see this small intricate CPU rising into the stratosphere.

My Least Favorite "Features" (in order)

1. Cortana: The ghost of a "helpful" assistant that nobody asked for and nobody uses.
2. The Microsoft Store: A barren wasteland of apps that somehow manages to be slower than a web browser.
3. File Explorer Ads: The day I saw a "recommendation" for a Microsoft product in my file explorer was the day I knew I had to leave.
4. The Registry: A terrifying, arcane database where one wrong move can send your entire system into oblivion. And believe me you DON'T know what a move it will be...

Here's how normal people update their software on a normal system:

Update all my software? Okay.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Well I guess Windows doesn't deserve even more ATTENTION
