I use manjaro a version of arch and I will never go back. Yes, sometimes things to don't but windows has issues as well. I had it with this anti user direction we are going because you know "security reasons". Microsoft decides what is malware, they decide what we are allowed to install, they track everything you do and if you want to turn if off forget it. Everytime you update they try to force you to make a MS account, I don't need this crap in my life. I'd rather spend an hour fixing something and knowing it's all under my control and my interests not some corporation's profit interests.

I tried to use Linux but it was a death by a thousand paper cuts of bugs and glitches. I've never experienced Windows stopping me from running a program, maybe you're actually trying to run malware? It's a good idea to install an antivirus or at least windows defender so you can avoid these.

  Try Virtualbox in combination with docker and WSL2, that was a disaster in Windows.

  Windows after version 7 is essentially death by a thousand dark patterns, forced surprise updates, forgotten preferences, etc..

      Staying on windows 95 for the last two decades is an underrated move, I definitely agree with that.

        Windows 11, latest patch. What dark pattern am I not seeing?

        Making it difficult to install alternative browsers? Requiring you push 5 "skip" buttons to avoid getting a Microsoft online account on a Windows install? And perhaps coming soon to a computer near you: Microsoft is testing ads in the Windows 11 File Explorer: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-is-testing-ads-in-the-windows-11-file-explorer/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-is...
