Imagine having this take seriously.

Guess it depends on the industry. I’m a web developer so it doesn’t matter what OS I use, and frankly it’s far easier to install and configure the tools I need on Linux than it is on Windows. I can leave a Linux system online for weeks at a time, which in some cases is the entire length of a contract.

Windows is good, but it requires just as much training as any other system to become a real power user.

I disagree. If you consider a power user using PowerShell or terminal, then sure. But simple things on windows are more complex on Linux. Like installing a program, if you can do it through snap or apt get then great, still more complex for the average user compared to windows where you just download and click.

Literally it’s just download and click.

From the Store if it’s there, or from the application website.

For most things, Linux just works. There are specialized apps like cad packages, graphic design and such that are very problematic on Linux but most of it is fine. Just look at how successful Chromebooks are. They’re all Linux.

Sure, and once you’ve clicked through the “finish setting up windows” pop up that inexplicably appears every few reboots, done the mandatory updates it keeps nagging you about and threatening to reboot if you happen to walk away for too long, and cleared out all the ads in your notifications, you can get right to it!

You know, I’ve never had this happen to me at all, but I am using the Pro version, so maybe that’s why.

Does it prevent Bing, Teams or Edge to ever get installed without your permission ?

That’s funny, that’s the reason I ditched Windows completely. The workflow is just so bad on it.
