Yes, Windows is terrible, too. The entire desktop software world has lost its collective mind and the platforms are turning themselves into locked down game consoles just so that grandma doesn't accidentally install malware.
- snackbroken 6mo ago> just so that grandma doesn't accidentally install malware That's the stated reason. The actual reason is that they are salivating at the sight of how much money the app store and play store are making. They just don't want to move too quickly for fear of customers revolting.

- pseudalopex 6mo agoNo. Windows code signing was harder and more expensive since years.
- tardedmeme 6mo agoThe writing has been on the wall for years.
