Ok I seriously don't get it. Windows is crap, for many reasons.
I get why microsoft doesn't want you to have privacy, getting you data is good money, this is also why it's full of ads. I also get it why they try and torce you to use a microsoft account and they try and force down your throat OneDrive and Cortana, it's to make more money.
I can also get why they reduce the customization options, it's to get you used to have no choice and I guess to reduce the features they have to maintain.
But then there are things so stuoid I really don't get it, like this technical problem they absolutely have the means of fixing quickly and effectively. We arr talking about fucking Microsoft, the third or fourth richest company in the world that cannot ship a simple firmware upgrade. I can't believe they are not able to, but it seems they really are so incompetent and take some unbelievable stupid decisions. Like the first version of Recall not being encrypted in the slightest way. How could they be so stupid to think that no ome would notice, instead of spending like 6 hours of a single developer to implement encryption on an OS that REQUIRES tpm hardware.
Sometimes it looks like Microsoft is begging their uses to switch to linux.
It must be a windows professional things, because I had "reccomendations" of various things on the login screen and freaking candy crush saga ads in my start menu since Windows 10, which is one of the apps that kept reinstalling themselves with windows update, alongside OneDrive that I have to regularly uninstall.
When I had to install windows 11 using a local account was still allowed but now as far as I know it's not unless you modify the installation image (and still, why the fuck should I be allowed not to use an online account?)
As for the games, yeah they work, but many work just fine if not even faster on wine. And if a game works better on another OS with a compatibility layer in the middle you know your OS is really bloated.
I'm probably a lot more picky about my software than most people are, but windows is seriously getting worse by the year, at least on the customization and usability.
