This is why Windows, with all its issues, is still relevant in 2022. I got tired of updating my distro and software stopping to work. If you are on happy walled garden land of the main repository you're fine. When you need some specialized software or something that is not being maintained anymore, good luck. And at the end of the day, people just want their work done.
This is why Windows with all bloat, advertising, tracking, security issues (no click RCE in 2022, wtf) STILL is going strong.
