Windows 10 was enough to push me to finally switch all my PCs to Linux.
The countless bugs didn't help(e.g. randomly (dis)appearing keyboard layouts, taskbar in the foreground during fullscreen mode but invisible when leaving fullscreen, ...).
But at least the bugs didn't force me to reinstall the OS multiple times like the updates did - not to mention on one machine I had to switch back to Win 7 because Win 10 was suddenly unusable after a certain big update, even failing to boot most of the time. This was a new one, as before that point I was used to Windows "just working" after installation.
It feels like Microsoft intentionally tries to prove to users how little they care. Resetting desktop wallpapers and open sessions, updating right out of suspend, hiding telemetry options and offline logins behind almost invisible links...no, thanks.
- nannal 7y agoThe telemetry issuers are big for me, I know there are tools to limit what Microsoft collects but when your vendor is trying to get that information and you have to take steps to stop them, that's enough for me to move away from a piece of software. I'd been switching between linux and windows for a while, but with proton and wine to back me up, I can't envision ever installing w10 on any of my machines.
- _bxg1 7y agoI don't know what makes your situation different, but I've had it on a custom-built desktop since the free-update period years ago and have never had a single issue like you describe.
