@BrideOfLinux Have you ever tried going back to it? I mean just to solve a problem for someone? 7 was the last tolerable version imo. After that 🤦.
Funnily enough, by chance, my main laptop for the last few years belonged to Microsoft's IT manager in Ireland. He did a clean install of Windows 10 and talked it up. He was surprised when I said I'd be wiping it. 😁
@samueljohnson I have one laptop in the house that has a Window 10 partition, which I use once per year so I can do my taxes. Hate it.
Similar, but kinda opposite to you, I once bought a used System 76 laptop on Amazon that came with Windows instead of Linux on it. Somewhere along the line, one of the laptop's previous owners had wiped whatever flavor of Linux System 76 shipped with and put Windows on it. I'm pretty sure I made the laptop happy when I wiped Windows and put Linux Mint on it.
@BrideOfLinux I have a box w a Windows 10 SSD in it that has had one use, approximately annually: updating my Garmin satnav which came with lifetime update of maps of Europe, real-time traffic data news, reading of text messages, hands-free Bluetooth w phone and more.
Haven't used it since Covid and am now trying in-car (EV) navigation in France as an alternative to Android Auto. I think the satnav is about to be redundant & Windows w it. Here (🇪🇺) govts provide online tax forms. 😋
