It feels faster and it seems to use up less storage.
It feels like I no longer have to play tug of war with microsoft with owning my own device.

It gets real funny when you use Linux for 6 months+ and then install windows in a virtual machine. The amount of shit you have to click no or skip on is astounding.
I’ve been a Windows user since the 90s and only used Linux occasionally. But starting with Windows 10 this thing is becoming more and more difficult to manage. The unlimited amount of popups, changing settings randomly without asking, A/B testing on difficult computers or different accounts on the same Windows installation, some settings only appear after a while or opening/closing the software several times…
It’s so painful to deal with. I’ll probably switch completely to Linux soon when I have spare time.
I only switched 5 months ago or so, but your comment is exactly the reaction whenever I use or update my wife’s windows pc. I used windows for ~30 years now, and was just “used to it” - but after only 5 months away, the bloat experience is unbelievable. Why did/do we put up with that?
It was the vidya games for me.
That’s no longer an issue now.
I see windows users at work and they have clicked those popups so many times they they do it now without even thinking. But it looks really funny, they are interrupted constantly by Windows or apps wanting something :)
See this topic coming up was fresh for me as I installed windows last night to use USB passthrough for my keyboard. It took me about an hour to get Windows installed and to the desktop.
It was what, like 15 to get to Mint’s desktop for me.
