Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years
CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 6 days agoWindows is idiot proof, meaning that it’s kind of hard to ruin desktop windows during the normal operations.
Are you new? Windows will barf all over itself and all your files doing regular updates. Happened to my wife’s computer just recently. She has almost nothing installed on it aside from Steam and Chrome. Windows update turned itself into a hot mess, and it’s a known issue. The only option was to do a completely fresh install of Windows.
Idiot proof my ass.

I agree. I had frequent problems when I used it, which could take days to figure out, and even then might only be solved by a full reinstall. Linux has had significantly fewer problems for me, and those problems are solved much more easily. My bf is a huge Windows fan, but it seems like he’s struggling with some problem he can’t figure out every other month. Half a drive left as unallocated space instead of being included in a partition, causing constant “disk full” messages, was the most recent issue. On top of bad updates. I don’t bother suggesting he switch, because I know he’s happy with it, but Windowt definitely isn’t problem-free.
