          I use it at work. It sucks so much worse then 10. I fucking hate that OS so much. It’s worse than 8. Some of the problems I have may be configurable on a personal PC but the fact that these things were decided as the “default” doesn’t give me any confidence in the people making design decisions at Microsoft.

            I think what I hate most is what they’ve done to scroll bars, and the right click menu doesn’t have copy and paste as words any more, and put them on arcane symbols instead.

            It’s just a load of completely pointless changes, to avoid people realising that there really isn’t anything actually new in there.

            Windows 10 is going EOL. You either move to 11 or switch to something else like Linux. There is no other option

              I’m aware and I’m working on a solution for myself. I’m just stating the reasons why there is so much friction. They churned out a turd of an OS and people don’t like it and they don’t give a shit that people don’t like it.

              I mean, there are other options but they are not good ones. Overall, I agree. You’re just getting downvotes because lemmings have a hater boner for anything M$, not because you’re wrong.

                The fact that you can only open the calendar from the clock on your main monitor is probably the most annoying thing to me. It’s not huge as far as functionality goes but I can do it on my Win 10 desktop, so wtf happened?

          Too late.

          Have been on the dark side for near 20 years. And I’m not going back.

      no thanks.

      I would rather put all my private data at risk of hackers than put all my private data at risk of corporate interests.

      at least when I pay the hackers they give me my shit back. what’s Microsoft’s excuse?

        Firstly, that is absolutely not always the case. There’s no honour among thieves, as the proverb goes.

        Secondly, hackers do a lot more than simply encrypt your data and hold it for ransom.
