> I think people who use Windows don't even realize how the OS slowly get more distracting over time, making people used to all this. I am always amazed on how passively and non annoyed people click away all these virus scanner and whatever popups popping up whatever you are doing. Personally I'm more amazed that there are people this actually happens to. I run Windows 11. I've also got an M1 Air and a Linux box so am not blind to the alternatives or particularly biased. And I have to say that's not my experience at all. I'll admit that upon installation I removed the start menu apps Microsoft seemed to think I'd want, and I run uBlock Origin in the browser. Other than it's an out-of-the-box install of 11 Pro and I see no adverts, no irritating cross-selling, nothing getting in my way. Windows just works and lets me get on with things. What is it people do that gets their machines into such a state? Or am I just more careful than most without even realising? Either way as long you're sensible Windows is totally fine.
