Windows UI has gotten considerably worse for casual users who just want a web browser. There are so many ads and pop ups in the OS now.
I installed Ubuntu on my grandma's machine after she installed malware on her windows machine. I get less questions because it doesn't update with "features" constantly.
- rootsudo 3y agoYou’re conflating UI and UX. People don’t care. There are ads on the internet, why aren’t there ads in the os? 99% of people can’t tell what an ad is. Is a trial software an ad? Is a shortcut on the start menu an ad? People want a bmw, they don’t care that heated seats are now a subscription service. People use YouTube, they see ads as part of the entertainment. For majority of people, they don’t know there’s better so they don’t care.
