Honestly, I would have just stayed with Windows 7, if not for Windows Terminal [1]. The Unicode support and ANSI escape code support is a big improvement. However I was not eager to upgrade, as people reported over and over all the privacy and telemetry issues. I have turned off all Windows Updates, and ideally I wont be upgrading Windows for a long, long time.

- rejectfinite 5y ago>I have turned off all Windows Updates You mean you have turned off automatic updates? Or you NEVER run Windows updates? - do not do this. Even on an airgapped machine. Insanity.
- svnpenn 5y agoI turned off automatic updates, and I never run Windows Update. I have heard enough horror stories that I dont need that ever again. There was a Windows Update a few years ago that literally deleted files from the user folder. Fuck that.
