Using Windows feels very weird, counterintuitive and frustrating

For context I've been daily driving Linux for years now and my relationship with Windows slowly changed from "I'm an up-to-date poweruser" to current "I only use it to play some games sometimes"

@rail_ I've been daily driving Windows and I feel the same it's so fucking counterintuitive to do some stuff

Also the consistency between UIs lmao

@rail_ Luckly my relationship with windows has become "Not touching it for months"
Only time when I touch it is either in school or when my grandpa needs help
Never for my own intention

@rail_ recently deleted the last windows install I had and I don’t miss it in the slightest

@rail_ I use win 10 currently, I’ve been a Linux user and a dual booter in the past, I use the tool that I think works best for me, which is currently 10, but the constant unauthorised changes and reboots are very grating.

The feeling you’re describing, I have that when I try to use win 11. Recently Microsoft removed ctrl+f in edge. I wish I was joking. Ctrl F wasn’t for searching the page for words anymore, it was some kind of internet search pane

@rail_ as someone who uses windows i really want to move to linux just because microsoft is slowly ruining the OS
I can't because of some programs that don't even work with Wine and a bunch of console modding stuff
Especially paint.net 5, which is my default image opener and I don't wanna have a VM on at all times, and I don't wanna dualboot because I'll end up using Windows 90% of the time.
I just stay on Tiny11 22H2 until there's some solution 😭
