Cheap shot, but: just the taskbar? Everyone likes to complain about privacy, telemetry, etc. in Windows. I’d rather have a Windows 7 with telemetry than Window

  yup after being so annoyed and seeing how well Gnome looks i installed Linux and have not used Windows since, no more forced updates that take forever, printers work without doing anything, no spyware everywhere, no advertising in my menus, no forced applications like candy crunch and the other crap it auto installed that i never wanted, only thing is GIMP UX/UI is horrible but found out about Darktable and that's 100x more capable then Adobe Lightroom

    > printers work without doing anything Any anecdotes? I have one: I've had this HP printer for years now. It's one of the... cheaper models that's more geared towards younger people (the app-downloading crowd). Anyway, that printer just would not work on Windows without installing some form of adware from HP. I tried everything, every obscure menu I could find to get the printer working. They really wanted me to put this thing on my network. On Linux, well... I plugged it in. And that's it. Software picks it up, works amazingly. I couldn't believe my eyes when it instantly recognised it.
