Personally I'm staying the hell away from Catalina, but it's not like Windows is the land of milk & honey. I've lost overnight testing data multiple times thanks to Windows' hostile "we're rebooting right now, whether you want to or not" upgrade strategy, and their mandatory telemetry bullshit is well-known at this point. Basically: Catalina sucks, but there's nowhere to go that's unequivocally better.

Mojave will be good for a long, long time to come. I run El Capitan on one machine and it still gets security updates. Homebrew sometimes gets confused trying to find an El-Cap specific formula but that's usually fixable.

  > I run El Capitan on one machine and it still gets security updates. No, it doesn’t. That caveat aside, if you can switch package managers, MacPorts explicitly supports older OS X releases (back to Tiger!) and thus may give you less problems.

I know I post this often because I find it very useful. https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script You can disable the rebooting if you look in Default.preset file.

For non-Home Basic versions of Windows you can change the policy for this (which I've done, and which works well, for exactly the reasons you've mentioned): https://www.techspot.com/guides/230-prevent-automatic-windows-update-restarts/ https://www.techspot.com/guides/230-prevent-automatic-window... You can also disable Cortana, the telemetry stuff etc. https://blogs.systweak.com/how-to-disable-telemetry-and-data-collection-in-windows-10/ https://blogs.systweak.com/how-to-disable-telemetry-and-data...
