Quite true.
Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support
dudeguy@lemm.ee 8 months agoInterestingly enough, the exact opposite happens to me. Just about every time I use Windows, it breaks horribly somehow and I can never seem to fix it without a complete reinstall. There’s just no way to get into its innards to fix things.
I’ve never had that kind of problem on Linux.
I imagine this sort of thing comes down to what platform you know.

Can confirm; this is exactly why I switched to Linux. After my fifth-ish reinstallation of Windows, Microsoft pushed an update that caused the OS to use 80-90% of my CPU and I couldn’t fix it because they locked down the service that was doing it despite it being entirely unrelated to my use of the computer (it was an Edge-related service that scanned web traffic for “optimization” if I remember right).
