It just sounds as if you haven't reached whatever your capacity is for "having to setup the OS to get out of your way". And that's a personal choice for everyone.
Windows 10 eventually breached my capacity due to the number of defaults I had to change post installation, and then often, again, post-patch/update. This was very soon after Windows 10 was released, and I already didn't like Windows 8's hybrid monstrosity following on from the sublime Windows 7, which I consider to be peak Windows.
I moved to Pop! OS and have been enjoying it on both desktop and laptop for over 5 years.
- danparsonson 1y agoForced updates were the last straw for me - after several iterations of using my machine until late, then being forced to let it update itself for another 30-60 minutes when I just wanted to switch everything off and go to bed, and noting that Proton made almost every game playable on Linux (thanks Valve).... the switch was a no-brainer.
- BLKNSLVR 1y agoMy work laptop allows me a view into the dystopian Windows future, including updates as you've described as well as the occasional update and reboot in the middle of doing actual work - yes, I know it should not happen like that, but reality doesn't seem to care for _should_ or _should not_. Just a rare as it is inexplicable.
